does it indicate potential problems for other aps?
It probably doesn't matter but I'm not sure what you mean by "cease to work
later in the power-up cycle" Erik, are you referring to startup items
scripts?
I think you may need to look at your installed Scripting Additions,
if you read this you'll understand the erratic nature of such errors:

last paragraph 'Classic Scripting Additions'.
The error messages will give clues as to which OSAX isn't loading,
Sorry; power cycle confused things. What I mean is sometimes a script
works for a few hours, then ceases to work. Only a restart will set
things right.
Cheers,
Erik
