Re the above problem. I believe to have found what caused it. I have 4 
external firewire drives. All LaCie, with two of an older type (which 
easily got corrupted by the way) and which you have to switch on 
manually (the newer ones switch on and off together with the mac). I 
used to switch the older drives on before the computer. That seems to 
have been the problem. Now I switch them on after the computer has gone 
through the complete startup. I have not had anymore problems for 10 
days. I guess (and hope) that was it.

Cheers, Bob
