I have this happen to me if the file I am trying to write to is locked.  It
does not cleanly give you a message, but says that a serious problem has
occurred.  Click on the system file and press command-I to get info.  If the
lock box in the corner is x'd, click on it to unlock the file.  Hopefully,
this is all that is wrong.  Good Luck!
