Oops, I forgot to report back. The re-install seems to have solved the problem, or at least reduced the occurrence rate so that I can't tell there is a problem.
It could be I was making a shortcut while doing some other activity. That feels right - I may have been working too fast for the program and it would stumble. I will know to think about that if it happens again.
