there is a tech article about the main reason that apple has withdrawn the
update available here:

<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107669>

I have read that there were several bugs that needed to be addressed but the
biggest and most common was apparently the G4 ethernet problem mentioned in
the tech article relating to G4 desktops and especially 450 Mhz models with
gigabit ethernet. Again I cannot confirm this but apparently the update was
okay with the G3 iBooks outside of a flash player issue (it uses an older
version of flash that a safari fix installs over newer previously installed
Flash 7 plug in...) other issues as well can be checked out here:

Guess it really is year of the notebooks!
