Have you tried killing the file named "Expressionist Scratchpad" in the System
Folder?  It may be that this got mangled somehow and that when Expressionist starts
(when it looks for a saved scratchpad) it finds this mangled file and dies.
Just a suggestion; I don't know if this will work or not...  You could always
reinstall...
