I also have this problem with MCL. I use the same version with appropriate
patches applied. I already reported this behavior to Digitool but got no
feedback whether they can reproduce this bug. I'm using a PowerMac 8500
with system 7.5.2. However, everything is ok with the MMM turned off.

BTW, the mail address for bug reports is bug-mcl@digitool.com
