Every so often, I notice that PowerPC apps will fail to launch (on my MacBook, 10.4.7). This mostly happens with MS Word, but also with Adobe apps (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). After rebooting, everything works fine.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Yes, but only with Bittorrent apps so far.

Here's a bug for you: the pow() function is crazily inaccurate when running in Rosetta compared to when it's running natively on either PowerPC or Intel. It was bad enough to break one of my apps.

A workaround is probably the terminal command: "sudo killall translated"
I don't know what's causing this, but resetting Rosetta as above seems to fix it.

Wow, a straight math function like that can get screwed up in emulation?

By way of an update, I found smeger's suggestion (killing the "translated" process) to work reliably, and a much better solution than rebooting--thanks!
MacOSXHints has a similar discussion about this but using Activity Monitor instead of Terminal.
