Shabbos 150 – שבת קנ

Rashi explains that Havdalla is akin to escorting the king on his way out; which must precede involving oneself with his personal endeavors.  However, Rashi at the outset of the Gemara (D”H V’af al gav) explains this only in reference to doing melacha prior to Havdalla (cutting fruit); why would it not apply to any personal matter as well – like going to guard his fruit?

Eruvin 17 – עירובין יז

Rav Huna explains that where there are presently no mechitzos, the fact that there was a heter at the onset of Shabbos is of no benefit.  Rav Yitzchak maintains however, that since the residents are still there, they maintain their original allowance.  How can they carry if there are no mechitzos in practice?
