... OK, more information.

     I appears that the sequence of events is slightly different than 
I described.  The disk image file is read and the disk it represents 
does mount, but THAT is the moment that things get jammed.

     I went to terminal on the Mac at the other end of my desk (so 
glad I kept that Cube!) and ran fs_usage through the entire process. 
As I was reading through this log, it occurred to me that this image 
file was made in 1998, and that the image format might be too old in 
some way.

     To make a long story short, this is the root of the problem - a 
more recent disk image located in AFS mounted OK without jamming 
anything.

     My next question is, of course, is will that "old" image mount 
locally?  Answer is YES.  So I have a file that opens ok locally, but 
jams the Finder if opened off AFS.  Should I send the fs_usage file 
for the failing case to someone?  If necessary, I'll make the 171 Meg 
image file available, though I'd rather try and make a much smaller 
image that fails ... Gav
