 This morning I tried updating an existing/older 6.5a3 installation on
 another OSX system and it worked fine. Based on this and the fsct that all
 of your tests worked, I think the OSX updates are probably okay. Kathy and
 I will try again on the OSX system that failed and let you know what we
 find, but I think you should re-enable updates for OSX.
