Thanks for replying. I actually solved it after I'd emailed you ... I had a file containing 50+ org-mode links to various files, documents, and shell scripts. Once I'd dumped it out of emacs, everything suddenly worked as normal! My final thoughts on it is that wc-mode was trying to count the number of words and stuff in all of the files after following the links!
