I do run into some weird issues with this latest PB:

* Whenever I try to run certain apps (such as MATLAB), the system says that I do not have the permission to open them:

* "The application "Dock" does not have permission to open "null."" when I try running from the Dock, and
* "The application "Finder" does not have permission to open "null."" whenever I try running from the Applications folder in Finder.


Never encountered this before.
