Hey Simon, when did you first start seeing this problem?

Okay, who was playing with folder paths! Adding Scott to the cc list.

This has been going on forever. I think it's related to the use of Base64 encoded 
alias handles for file path prefs on Mac (I see those in my prefs file).

I think smfr got in a bad state with his profile back when were changing
directory formats early on. I believe he has since moved to a new profile and
doesn't see the assertion problem.

simon, if I'm summarizing the current state of affairs correctly let me know and
I'll close out this bug.

You can close. Making a new profile fixed this.

Problem must have been fixed. I do not see this problem in this build.
