[Ti] another panic

[Dr Trevor J. Hutley]

I was just dragging an XLS in to a Mail document, and I got another  
kernel panic.

This seems a perfectly standard operation, so I wonder it caused a  
panic?

Kynan - I always use the Combo updaters, anyway.  I have the latest  
Retrospect version and drivers.  Permissions are repaired very  
regularly (Cocktail).

I have not had any similar problem (panic during overnight backup)  
since my post, but yesterday, I was just working in my office,  
actually not even typing or anything , and there was a kernel panic.....

So I think there is SOMETHING not quite right, but it is not a big  
problem.  Juts an observation, that I thought worth posting.
