Yep thats good isn't it. OK on Acrobat. When I drag and drop onto Preview or
TeXShop they quit. But no logout (yet!). Then I open Console to see what is
happening. Then I get a logout. It hangs or at least takes longer than
I was prepared to wait, on login so I did a restart. It goes into 9,
checks the hard disk then I can reboot into 10.1. This time login is
quick.
There was something in the Console log but I lost it when I crashed.
I think this is
it from var/log/system.log
