Tor and Privoxy on Mac OS X 10.4.11

I've been running the Tor, Torbutton, and Privoxy combo on Mac OS X  
for a long time, but when I recently updated to 10.4.11, it stopped  
working, even though it's supposed to start up automatically when I  
login every day. All I got were error messages saying that Privoxy  
was set to a host that wasn't responding.

Finally I uninstalled it and installed the Tor, Privoxy, and Vidalia  
package and it works, but I have to manually turn it on now, since  
there are no startup scripts for Tor and Privoxy with that package.

Does anyone know what could be causing this problem, and how to fix  
it? I hate using Vidalia when I know Tor and Privoxy can startup  
automatically, and that's the setup I want to go back to and use.
