That didn't work - in fact, now I'm seeing something new.  It looks as 
if a duplicate bookmarks file is being created and deleted (the file 
name bookmarks-1.html flashes up and is then removed)...I saw this on a 
startup, and also on a few exits.  I also saw it during navigation to 
new sites.  On shut down, the duplicate file sometimes was deleted, and 
somtimes was not.  It didn't seem consistant in the few attempt I tried 
this morning.

I'll also add that I looked at a NS profile on a friend's machine and 
found the same (numerous) duplication of the Bookmaks file.  He hadn't 
noticed because he mostly uses Safari.
