Unfortunately, I was one of the early adopters and grabbed the update 
and installed it before they pulled it. Likewise, on the 10.3 upgrade, 
I just did an upgrade since I didn't have enough room on the hard drive 
to do a new install or an archive and install.

So, is the conventional wisdom that I should do a clean install of 10.3 
to see if that does it? Anyone know for sure? That seems like an awful 
lot of work to find out it doesn't work. Thanks.
