langer,
I've never run into ANYTHING resembling that, but there's no doubt a process somewhere is hung up. Either that, or there's a permissions problem with the file somehow that causes it to appear to be used by the system or something. Which build of x are you running? ie: Jaguar, or the original x, or a panther beta???? I've had a few times when something would hang under Jaguar, and I had to completely power down the box and re-power it, but that's happened maybe twice in a couple of years. You might consider re-installing, as it's also possible that some module of the OS has become corrupt, but in theory that shouldn't be likely either. I'll follow this thread with great interest, as we have a total of 6 osX machines here at the house , and I'd sure want to know if that ever came up as an issue here. :-)
