Hello Camden,

Do you mean we have to download/install a lot of things for being able to answer your seemingly innocuous question "any ideas about why this is happening"?
We all (well, at least me) on this list are now alarmed about a possible problem with launchd (or even Mac OS X), yet without any clue about that problem.
Could you provide us with a case reduced to the bare minimum allowing to reproduce the problem you are encountering?


TIA,
Axel
