After a bit of troubleshooting (<a href="http://arstechnica.com/civis/
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1119077">see my posting here on Ars Technica's
forums</a>) I think I've found a problem between Safari 5.0.1 and
Growl 1.2.1.

When Growl is running on my laptop (Mac OS 10.6.4 on a first-gen
MacBook Pro), periodically I get signed out of my Google Account,
which affects (at least) Google Reader and Google Docs, possibly other
apps (but not, strangely, Gmail). The problem also affected a Fluid
Single-Serving Browser app for Google Reader. It would happen several
times an hour, often minutes apart.

I did not suspect Growl at first, but found <a href="http://
reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329959-263.html">an old MacFixit
thread and comments that pointed me at Growl</a>.

Turning off Growl has made the problem go away. I don't know if this
is a problem on Safari's end, or Growl's, but I'm reporting it to both
support teams just in case.

If you need any more information on this to see if you can reproduce
it or track the actual cause down, feel free to ask. Thanks for your
support; I really like Growl and would love to have it back, but for
now, reading my RSS takes precedence.
