This may not apply to this situation, but it is a food thing to remember when Megs
start disappearing. Apps with the .app extension when crashing (ie Icon.app) may
hide a core file within the app folder. Since the browser does not normally open
the app folder, it is easy to overlook. If you have a network like we do here, then
it is very often that you have something like Icon crashing and leaving its corpse.
