I have had it on the iMac and on the Headgap Server for several days now with no problems. The Headgap Server was occasionally rebooting for no good reason and that was caused by the applescript bug, so that is fixed now. I haven't started running Filemaker on my server again since I was having such a problem that I finally took it off. Seems they have addressed that one too.

I take it that you have rebuilt the desktop. It sounds like something thinks it is somewhere it isn't supposed to be and it finally errors out. Conflict Catcher might find it but I usually try to reboot with no extensions, then 8.5 ext only and keep adding back until it rears its head again. Being stubborn and persistant usually works for me. If it does it with no extensions on then I don't know what to tell you other than clean install a new one and don't move old ext. over until you get the all clear. Let us know if you finally figure it out. I haven't seen that before but likely will sometime.
