Lost them again. What's different is this time I didn't quit Camino. I just shut the lid on my MacBook Pro and walked in to another room. Then when I raised the lid again, I was promplty prompted with the message that all my bookmarks were gone. Oh and I'm using heronstalker's original optimised 1.0.2 build for i686.

In the past 9 months, I've experienced this twice, all on 10.4. Both at startup.
Now that you mention it,... Spotlight is not allowed to index the Camino folder in Application Support (hmm, if one can trust that 'privacy' tab in the Spotlight preferences...). Is it that what protects me from the wrath of $deity ?
(click clock, sounds of </me> making a back-up, just in case.)
[edit] I should mention, the two cases of lost bookmarks happened before I told Spotlight not to go there.

Simon suggested in the bug that he suspected a Spotlight interaction. Of course, having Spotlight search Camino's bookmarks was one of the big things people were excited about in 10.4...
I'd say leave it disabled for now, except that I don't think I've *ever* seen this, and Spotlight is definitely indexing that folder for me.

Well, searching bookmarks is accomplished by searching the metadata cache we write in the system metadata cache directory, not by Spotlight indexing the actual bookmarks file in the profile So you can exclude the profile folder without losing bookmark searching....

Oh, I just now remembered; we were talking about this the other day on irc, and one of the devs wondered if Norton AntiVirus might be involved. Anyone seeing this problem running NAV (or, seeing the problem and not running NAV)?
