I think some times there is a problem with the system pasteboard,  
which doesn't affect only TextMate but all apps. So when you can't  
paste to and copy from TM anymore, are you still able to do it in  
other apps, say TextEdit or Terminal? e.g. copy something from  
TextEdit and paste it in the Terminal. If you can't, then it's a  
problem with the system paste server, not TextMate per se. I think  
restarting the server fixes it, though perhaps someone who knows more  
about it can perhaps shed some light into the matter.
