Couldn't really decide if I should post this in here or in support so if it's out of place please forgive me.

I was playing around with the Dev tools last night and decided to read through some more of the docs. Unfortunately when I attempted to navigate into the Documentation directory in a finder window it killed Desktop. Thought maybe it was a fluke so when Desktop had restarted I tried it again with the same result. I can cd into it just fine using the terminal so I'm kinda stuck on what the problem might be. Any thoughts, suggestions?

to be honest i've no idea.

Your best bet is to reinstall the developer tools, perhaps erasing /Developer before you do so.

Tried reinstalling the dev tools after wiping out not only the Documentation directory but the entire Developer directory as well. No such luck. I then tried reinstalling OS X with re-formatting in the hopes that it would repair anything that might be broken. No luck there either. Finally backed up everything that I wanted to keep and reinstalled OS X again telling it to reformat the partition. Reinstalled the dev tools and everything seems to be peachy again. Glad it's working but the whole process seems rather like squashing a mosquito with a sledgehammer.
