Yep thats good isn't it.  OK on Acrobat. When I drag and drop onto Preview or
TeXShop they quit.  But no logout (yet!).  Then I open Console to see what is
happening.  Then I get a logout.  It hangs or at least takes longer than
I was prepared to wait, on login so I did a restart. It goes into 9,
checks the hard disk then I can reboot into 10.1. This time login is
quick.

There was something in the Console log but I lost it when I crashed. 
I think this is
it from var/log/system.log
