I have recently started running into the same... In my case it seems to be happening as a result of some interaction between Wolfram Workbench running one instance of mathematica and my 'normal' mathematica session running. It seems as though something isn't quite cleaning itself up sometimes.. I've been able to recover w/o a reboot by manually killing all Mathematica processes and restarting the application however. -jbl On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 7:18 AM, Andrzej Kozlowski <akoz at mimuw.edu.pl>wrote: > Actually the situation is even worse than I described below.
