Splunk Crashing

My splunk seems to be crashing. It may or may not have to do with using IE 8 in Splunk 6 to edit an event and create a regex as this appears when it started. The crash log is showing what I have below. Stoping and starting does not seem to be helping. Do I have the db_1383938418_1383938238_26/rawdata file locked somehow?

The answer is... I had somehow deleted the leading [ from the first stanza in my inputs.conf file.
