Yup it did it to me and I had to re-start the computer. I also have a
similur problem in Mail with that funny sound it makes. By the way
does your system make that sound when it messes up? I can't describe
it well but it sounds like a heart monitor in the hostpital.

Hello all
I have a test that I would like you leopard users to do. I am
experiencing this problem on my computer, and just wanted to make
sure that it is not just me before I go email accessibility.
In the finder:
Go to the macintosh HD folder at the root of your harddrive
press cmd i for the information dialog
Does your voiceover crash on you?
When i try to summon up the information dialog with cmd i in the
finder, whether it be a folder or a file, I have had this happen. I
am not precicely sure if I can narrow it down to any finder items in
particular, though I do know that I can produce it perfectly when I
do it with macintosh hd. Basically, voiceover just goes silent, and
the keyboard becomes unresponsive. There were a couple times where
I was able to cmd tab out of the finder, and just tab around another
window until voiceover woke up again, and then I would have to force
quit the finder in order to get back into it. More often than not,
I have simply had to force quit the finder without speech before I
could bring vo back.
On my computer at least, vo seems to have an aversion to this
information dialog.
Thank you for your time on this
