This can be avoided, I was certainly able to, but I can't remember how. You 
might find the information on http://www.atari-forum.com/

In my experience, Jinnee is not that clean and seems to mess the AES somewhat, 
with or without memory protection, by the way. I used it for a while on my 
Falcon before the Radeon, but I was always under the impression that it was 
about to crash. Oftentimes, id did. With the radeon, it's much too unstable.

So, you may be better off forgetting about it. This program was obviously 
developed with MagiC in mind.
