Thanks, Herb. No, no .synctex.gz created.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, Davide and I  
are simply referring to what happens when you command-doubleclick in  
either the pdf or tex window to be taken to the corresponding point in  
the other window. Sometimes --not always--the rainbow ball spins then  
TeXShop quits. Annoying, but rarely disastrous.
