Amazing.. .I thought I was the first person on earth to notice this update (it spontaneously appeared in-line with the series of other updates I had already instructed it to install a few hours earlier, but had cancelled because I wasn't plugged in!)

I might have to pass on this last update because I'm not having any issues. Certainly none that this update is reported to fix. Other than the security issues, why fix something if it's not broken (on my machine). Especially with Snow Leopard just around the corner!
