Finally, Apple released Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6, which requires Windows 2000/2003, Windows XP or Windows Vista. Apple also released a version for 64-bit versions of XP and Vista, available for direct download.

I installed this update and my MacBook 10.4.11 and have since been getting some apps (Mail, Address, iTunes, iCal, etc.) crashing upon launch. Others (Safari, iPhoto, etc.) work fine. This only occurs on my account other accounts work fine.

Any ideas?

Glad to see Apple still cares about us who prefer a fast, stable OS.

I'm no expert, but you could try some of the following.
I suppose you could try trashing the plists and restarting. Did you repair permissions using Disk Utility after (and hopefully before) the update? Do you have Disk Warrior? If so, run that. I find it works on a multitude of problems. Did you backup your disk before you updated? If so, you can restore your disk and run Onyx and Disk Utility (and Disk Warrior) before you update again, this time in "safe mode". You could, also, delete the troublesome account and start a new one. Do you have a dodgy/old/PPC 3rd party app running in the background? If so, maybe it's incompatible with the latest edition of the Apple apps. Look for anything like that, especially if the other accounts don't have it. To check this, you might have to boot up in "safe mode", which doesn't allow 3rd party start up items to start on start up, if you follow me. Check your Mac's Help for the procedure.

I have been experiencing the similar problems since updating. Though for me Safari has been crashing a lot.

having the same problems. anyone figure anything out yet? i can't reinstall the security update because installer is one of the programs that crashes immediately.

and another question: what is a plist and how does one know which ones to trash?

Actually, 10.5.5 has still been a nightmare.
