Well here is my outcome, but it isn't promising. I got Tech Tool Pro and 
nothing. I got a new 20 GB drive and nothing. I did countless OS reinstalls 
(clean too) and nothing. I added 64 more RAM and nothing. I have had this bug 
for more then a year and I have yet to find out how to kill it. I even have 
run my OS on a seperate drive and gotten the latest anti-virus software. Here 
are the best symtoms of when it does occur.

- after saving a file
- when working in photoshop
- changing getinfo comments
- while seleting a menu item in GoMac
- at random times of use

It appears that it is going away, since most of my work isn't in photoshop 
and it doesn't bother FutureBASIC I am pretty safe. The main advice is to 
save a lot and often!
