After Dark 4.0 Crashes on Mac OS 8.1

Anyone know about this crash?
I have a LC580 that I swapped a PPC board into (I think a 6200 or 6300? It's 100mhz). Whenever I install Mac OS 8.1 (clean or upgrade), After Dark 4.0 doesn't ever enter sleep mode, and when I force it to sleep, the machine "hangs" (cursor is movable but can't click on anything or force quit).

This crash doesn't seem to happen with 7.6.1. Initial install of AD 4.0 also causes a extension crash at boot, with "Screen Wallpaper" (which I delete typically). Demo mode works fine, I can play screensavers.

I haven't tried installing the OS9 patch, or any later variants of After Dark (4.02 or 4.03).
 
Updating to 4.04 seems to have fixed the problem. Either that or it finally fixed itself after the third OS install.
