Excel logs me out of my whole computer

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Every once in a while, while I'm simply entering text into an excel spreadsheet, I suddenly get logged out of my computer. It's like everything (all my apps, etc) shut down and I'm presented with the log-in screen as if I'm just barely turning on my computer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office already, and it hasn't happened as often, but it still has happened. Ideas?

We are investigating this issue. The initial investigation shows it may be an OS issue that happens to other applications too. Please see this link:
