I had my original 80 gig hard drive (g4 desktop) partitioned into 2 drives, the mac os X one was getting selected as the default scratch disk in PS, and i was rendering a couple thousand frames. I ran out of space quickly on that partition and thats when prefs started to go away. Since then, i've switched ps to the other partition and I've gotten a 180gig external firewire drive. It hasn't happened since.
On my lombard, I record audio in great lengths and i often run out of hard drive space. I've gotten the "dumping prefs" thing a little less often, but i have gotten it.
verdict: get more hard drive space, watch classic and its stupendous space wastage, and double check your scratchdisk settings.
I hope this bit of sleep-deprived rambling actually helps.
Of course, it could be something completely different actually causing the problem. -=shrug=- good luck.
