Hi everyone,

It happens here too for a long time. I thought it was because, on the 
computer on which it happens, the systems boots on a very slow external 
USB2 drive and because a timer reached the end of its waiting time.

It's not a plain uniprocessor system ( I run this disk on a core duo 
macmini and on a more recent dual processor PC at work)

Usually, relaunching the app succeeds. So I didn't complain on the list.

It doesn't occur on my main machine (2x2.0 G5 , by the way, Riccardo as 
you asked me sometimes ago... ) which boots on a SSD.
