I have very similar results to Joe using the 64-bit Linux version. I
have never been able to find relevant TBB logs, nor any system or home
directory logs which point to the cause. Killing and then restarting
TBB always fixes the problem. It probably happens 1-2 times per month.

If anyone can suggest tracing/logging options I'm willing to try.
