I can't help you repair your unbootable machine, but I have seen similar  
symptoms.

On at least three occasions, my logout sequence has hung my NeXT.  The second  
time, I walked out of the room to see how long it would sit there.  When I came  
back, there was an alert asking me if I wanted to save some edited files in one  
of the active applications.  I clicked on the button to save the files and  
watched the NeXT go back to its hung state - this time for good.

Now, I'm afraid to log out with any processes running (especially that buggy  
Librarian.app) for fear that I might have to resort to Command-` and 15 minutes  
of system disk repair (with its inherent risk of file loss).  So far I've had  
good luck since my machine still boots, but how long before I join Mark crowd  
and have a machine that refuses to boot?
