OSX Security Update 2003-06-09 Warning

[Charles Pearce]

Warning!
In spite of the issues that others have reported on MacFixit about the 
OSX Security Update 2003-06-09, I installed it on my desktop G4 and 
experienced no problems. Thus emboldened, I installed it on my iBook 
(firewire 700MHz) and immediately had problems. Upon reboot, it booted 
and ran for a couple of minutes and then crashed with the gray screen 
in about six languages telling you that you've got serious problems. I 
have OSX installed on an external hard drive and booted from there 
instead of the internal drive. It still crashed (it just took 
longer--about five minutes). Finally, I reinstalled OSX and it got rid 
of the problem. This "update" is more like a virus. And, I have spent 
most of the day messing with it. Remember, your mileage may vary.
