Classic boots for "root", but not others?

[Jonathan Apple]

Anyone have any idea why Classic would boot when you are root, but not another user?

Do you get an error message when trying to start Classic and not logged in as root?

I was unable to start Classic because my Classic System Folder was owned by userID 102 (which did not correspond to any current users). After changing the ownership to me again, which all the other folder on the same volume were anyway, Classic launched fine.
