in the interests of science I typed mate . in a newly opened terminal  
window - TM started, but went unresponsive - I force quit it and got  
this in the terminal window:

2008-08-04 11:26:45.271 mate[914:10b] Exception raised during posting  
of notification.  Ignored.  exception: 'connection went invalid while  
waiting for a reply'  invoked observer method: '*** -[OakLaunchHelper  
didLaunchTextMate:]'  observer: 0x122730  notification name:  
'NSWorkspaceDidLaunchApplicationNotification'

I sent the crash report to macromates (smart Crash Reports)
