Unfortunately, I just searched the bug database and there are no reports 
in there about delete folder not working. That isn't to say the bug 
didn't exist, only that it isn't in the Rev database.

I just did a test with my old copy of MC 2.5 and it worked fine. The 
test folder I created on the desktop deleted without incident. This was 
in OS X however, I didn't actually test in OS 9, as I was too busy to 
set up one of my old machines right now.
