[G4] Software update crashing

[Al Poulin]

Kevin:

I am not an Apple technician, but if I thought that Software Update was 
the ONLY thing misbehaving on my Mac, I would do what I always do 
anyway.  Go to the Apple Support web pages and manually download one of 
the two update packages for OS X 10.3.7.  If I am already at 10.3.6, I 
would fetch the small updater.  If I were somewhere back around 10.3.3, 
I would take the Combo version.  I was at 10.3.5 a couple weeks ago, so 
I just took both 10.3.6 and 7.  Some folks had trouble with 6, but 
here, everything is fine.

Then repair permissions again.  And run the update from the downloaded 
package.  Then I would expect the Software Update feature to work 
properly.
