I too have seen a similar behaviour bugging my colleagues but as Jeff, did not really go behind solving the problem. Just wanted to ask though, is ur sandbox on a networked drive? Mine is. I was thinking if the networked drive could be the cause of the problem. Atleast I have seen discussions on the forum discouraging a sandbox on a networked drive.
