A couple of the few support emails I have received however are related to a
problem with the user not being able to open my application again after
running it previously. They say the icon just bounces in the Dock but never
finishes loading.


I have advised them to reboot and this has always fixed the problem, but I'd
like to know what the root cause of this problem is.


Is anybody familiar with this sort of problem and what causes it?

Are these users using Panther? I think there was a bug in Panther where loading certain resources at application startup would randomly cause a deadlock to occur in a private AppKit function call, making the app bounce in the Dock but not launch. In one app I worked on, it was related to the toolbar, but it's been a while and I don't remember the specifics. I haven't seen this problem occur under Jaguar or Tiger, though.
