Okay, I have seen this -- usually, though I have some other app running, so
I switch to that application in the Dock and then force quit the Finder.
The key seems to be switching to the other application so that the
cmd-opt-esc sequence is recognized.
Michael, are you doing Cocoa programming or Carbon (or both)?
If you want some more data points. I have OS X on a PB G4/400 384MB, a B&W
G3/350 448MB, and a DP G4/450 256MB. The B&W machine and PB I use at home
with a wireless router (SMC Barricade). I have been sharing the G3 drive so
I can access it with the PB. Works great. I have not had problems when
transferring files between the machines, but then again I have only done
10's of MB not 100's.
Just prior to writing this, I had an interesting thing happen. OmniWeb was
showing in the dock like it was running, but it was not running, so I tried
to log out and back in, but after loging out - I only had a blank blue
screen. That did require me to force a reboot.
Great, now all of this instability talk is infecting my machine! :)
Now we're way way off topic.... I'll try not to post on this one any more...
-Steve
