Hi Bob - thanks for the heads up.  I am running a mirror RAID array 
with the system on its own disk.  There is about 30gb free and it is 
regularly defragged - can't see this as a cause but I will check it.
Incidentally - it seems Epson were right with their last comment, 
hyperthreaded P4 + USB2 + 4000 = trouble with some chipsets and set-
ups.

Switching to firewire and I haven't had the problem again (yet). 
I assume they will fix this bug in the next download 

The beauty of owning an early model..... 

Thanks for your help.
