I have been experiencing rare but very irritating problems running Mathematica 7.01 under Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on a MacBook. What happens is that for some reason the kernel suddenly quits during an evaluation. When I try to restart it (by evaluating some expression) I get the message: "The kernel failed to start because you attempted to run more Mathematica kernels than you have licensed." There are two buttons, Purchase and Cancel. I find it rather annoying that the Purchase button is selected by default but not half as annoying as the fact that clicking on either button produces no effect. Everything is actually frozen and there is no way out other than force quitting Mathematica. Has anyone experienced anything similar? As I mentioned - this seems fairly rare; it has happened twice since I installed Snow Leopard about a month ago and I can't reproduce it. Andrzej Kozlowski
