cursed

[Dan Shafer]

When I begin to see this kind of instability, I find that removing the 
file revpreferences.rev from the compoents | save folder in the Rev app 
folder and restarting will generally fix it.

At the advice of several veteran scriptheads here, I've taken to 
keeping a copy of that file on my desktop or somewhere else so that I 
don't have to start over on all my prefs when this happens. For me, at 
least, it goes in streaks. Things work fine for a long time and then 
two or three times in a day or two I get weirdness. THen it goes away.
