This sounds very similar to two of the problems with OS X that have been 
coming up recently. This could be related to the vnodes problem, 
<http://summary.net/talk/200310/msg00023.html>, or to another kernel bug 
that is also preventing files from being opened correctly if the server 
has been running without rebooting for too long. You should check for 
vnode related problems first, as that is simpler to resolve.

There are now three serious problems in OS X that I have been unable to 
find work arounds for and for which Apple has not been very responsive. 
If there is any way you can try running Summary on another kind of 
machine, I suspect that your problems will go away.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
