I received this follow-up to the bug report:

"I've modified my startup-sequence to use Setpatch 44.40 as follows:

C:Version >NIL: exec.library 45
IF WARN
C:Loadresident >NIL: Libs:exec.library
ENDIF
C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES exec.library

Now, I will explain why I believe this works. Setpatch >44.17 attempts to
place the Kicktags in FASTMEM which causes exec.library to fail on reboot.
Loadresident places the Kicktags in CHIPMEM and exec.library works fine.
Apparently, the Setpatch AVOIDMEMFKICKFORPATCHES option
is broken! So until Setpatch can be fixed the above S-S should provide a
workaround."
