Wow, didn't know about Console but it's useful. Using the echo "hello world" test along with all of the other commands that aren't working the Console got the same output over and over again: Nov 18 11:58:26 hbien crashdump[227]: bash crashed Nov 18 11:58:26 hbien crashdump[227]: crash report written to: /Users/hbien/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/bash.crash.log tail -f on that log file reveals a lot of hex numbers - Host Name: hbien Date/Time: 2006-11-18 11:58: 26.609 -0800 OS Version: 10.4.8 (Build 8L127) Report Version: 4 Command: bash Path: /bin/bash Parent: TextMate [193] Version: ???

Also check if the problem is local (from [1]): A quick way to determine if it is a local problem is by going to System Preferences $B"*(B Accounts and create a new account. Then launch TextMate from this (new) account and test if the problem persists. If it does not, it is definitely a local problem and you may want to revert to default bundles and/or (backup and then) remove your ~/Library/Preferences/ com.macromates.textmate.plist file.
