Hi,
  I'm just catching up after being out of town last week.
Has anyone else run into the problem that Norman has described
with changes to the material list? We haven't seen this problem
locally (yet), but I want to keep and eye on this as it could be
a symptom of some memory corruption of some kind. Norman,
if you can provide any additional details about your machine/OS and
or what files you typically work with that might be useful.
Can you cause it to malfunction even if no molecule is loaded yet?

Cheers,
  John
