ARCHIVED: Why does my AV Macintosh crash when I select "About This Macintosh..." or "About This Computer..." from the Apple menu?

There is an incompatibility between AV Macintosh and BeHierarchic, the Control Panel device which produces the nice multi-level Apple menu. Every item in the Apple menu is speakable, and the hierarchical structure produced by BeHierarchic apparently confuses speech recognition, resulting in a system crash. To remedy this problem, from the Control Panels folder, remove your current version of BeHierarchic and install the latest version (which does not have this problem).
