[comp.sys.next] Bad startup

I've noticed an intermittent problem with my autolaunching applications on the dock.
About 8 of the 12 apps are autolaunched when everything goes correctly, they are:
Preferences
Monitor
Eyecon
Mail
Edit
LockScreen
2 Terminals

Everyonce in a while I'll get messages in the console that look like:

Mar 10 02:37:41 nextcc1 pbs: msg_send error: -102
Mar 10 02:37:41 nextcc1 Terminal[683]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-203
Mar 10 02:37:41 nextcc1 Monitor[677]: An uncaught exception was raised
Mar 10 02:37:42 nextcc1 Edit[680]: An uncaught exception was raised
Mar 10 02:37:42 nextcc1 Monitor[677]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-203
Mar 10 02:37:42 nextcc1 Edit[680]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-203
Mar 10 02:37:42 nextcc1 pbs: msg_send error: -102
Mar 10 02:37:43 nextcc1 pbs: msg_send error: -102

and then some of the apps mentioned in the errors will not complete launching,
but rather die.  In the above listing Monitor and Edit died but Terminal
kept going with no obvious problems.

There doesn't seem to be much correlation between different logins
and which apps die, i.e. one day Monitor might die another day it will be
Eyecon.  One day things seemed to be so bad that they all died and
then I was dumped back to the login panel...

The next is booting from a 660 meg server and is otherwise a stock 8 meg,
OD machine.  Has anyone seen this on their nexts?  Any comments or suggestions?
