This points to some problem. I've seen It's really a (long time) system bug in
that was (finally) fixed in Snow Leopard. I hoped a workaround I added in the
latest release would fix this, but the system bug seems to be even more serious
than I thought. Though I am not sure what exactly triggers it in Skim, and I
don't have a machine running Leopard anymore to debug.
