Logic Express 8 won't load saxophones

Question

For the first time ever, I'm getting the dreaded error: "Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result code = -39". This error occurs whenever I (a) load a Logic project that has a software instrument track in it that is assigned to either the Tenor Sax.exs or Alto Sax.exs instruments OR (b) create a new software instrument track and then load either of those same saxophone sounds. The same saxophone instruments work fine when I play them in GarageBand, however. I've tried reinstalling Logic Express. I've also tried using known-good exs instruments from another computer. To no avail. What else can I try?
Thanks!

Hi,
checked in the Logic Pro forum - maybe you should turn off time machine while running logic.
Another solution: If you can identify the exact file causing the problem, maybe deleting and reinstalling it from the Garageband or Logic Install Disk can cure the thing.
The samples are in library/application support/garageband/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/Tenor Sax.
The EXS file is found in Sampler/Sampler Instrument.
Also, repair permissions. May not have to do anything with this but is always wise to do.
