Hmmm, yes, it just happened and I saw that message -- but the
editor was still running. I'll see if I can see any more pattern to what's
causing it to think the editor has closed.

No, I have logging on but there never seems to be anything
useful in the log file after the crash. Sometimes it hangs and then
resumes after a while. The disturbing thing is the GUI degradation
that I mentioned: the menu bar often disappears, or some dialog that
was floating there will disappear, and sometimes if I task-switch away I
won't be able to task-switch back.
