You can't run fsck on a running system. If only some apps are misbehaving, my WAG* is that a library is somehow borked, but if you didn't upgrade anything just before this happened ... I just don't know =/ Backing up important docs still isn't a bad idea. * Wild Ass Guess -- monique PLEASE don't CC me. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top. Whatever it takes, just don't CC me!
