Rod,

   No, that's not it. I tried this three times, the last time moving that file
out of the directory. The backup halted on the next file.

   When I try to list the contents of that directory I also get a seg fault.
Now, I can 'ls /usr/lib/qt-3.3.4/examples' just fine; I can even cd there.
But, attempts to list the files in the textedit/ directory, or to cd there,
produce a segmentation fault.

   What does that information add to your understanding?

Thanks,

Rich
