OK, I'm not sure that's really what I mean, but...
A little background: most OS X applications are "packages"; that is, what seems to be the application icon is really a folder. Inside the folder is the real application and its various resources.
I just had another kernal panic with OS X. (This time was the mail app; IE wasn't running). When I rebooted, OS X had lost the "package" concept from every application. This means that my dock is full of folders. This means when I go to my "Applications" directory, it's full of folders. This means I can't run any applications, just open the folder and look at the mysterious contents.
Does anyone know how to recover from this?
