Things like random 'not finding/opening of index file' yet no error regarding (problem found later when index use attempted). There were other anomalies too.

Just looking over this thread...this reminds me a little of the recent problem I had where sometimes an entire server table was pulled onto the local machine, and all the Tableupdates were done locally. Then there was a network problem, and the server table never got updated with anything...
