I had some similar behavior in the past when my hard disk started "creating" bad sectors and when it had problem reading sectors (problem with disk mechanics), where system files were stored. With such stochastic behavior, I wouldn't rush to blame the OS (Maui in this case) for the failure.
Oh dear, that's horrible potential news, after a pretty demoralising day. I feel sapped of energy now, so think i'll leave it alone til tomorrow. Why ruin only one day when i can ruin two instead? Thanks.
