Well, we've been using Interleaf 3.0 on Suns for about a year now, and
have never seen this one.  To date I have seen a file lost only once,
and that was due to a hardware problem forcing us to reboot a station.
Well, twice, because the new un*x has a bug and our computer center
can't do remote backiups via TCP/IP without rebooting our server - fix
on the way.

We've used 3 stations for over a year, VERY heavily.  We have just
added 4 more.  The system is pretty reliable overall.

I would suggest bugging Interleaf to get you the latest version of 3.0,
which is 3.18 I believe.  I know, I know, their Mass. customer support
is surly at best and merely disorganized always; it all depends on your
local office.  Unfortunately, THEY have to rely on Cambridge. . .

You might also question the environment you are running in.  If your
Sun is part of a networked system, could someone else be bugging your
underlying un*x?
