[Macpartners] Wait on installing Mac OS X 10.3.9

[Kerem B Limon]

Hmm...not to dispute this (Apple upgrades do often cause lots of issues), but
I'm not having that problem. 'java -version' on the Terminal gives

java_version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)

This is on a PowerBook G3, freshly installed recently with updates to 10.3.8 and
updated tonight to 10.3.9. I should have a chance to upgrade more machines
Monday and see the results, including some test machines.

> There are several reports of Java not working. After installing the 
> update, I can confirm that Java no longer works. One way to know if 
> Java is working is to launch Terminal and use the following command: 
> java -version. You should get Java's version information.
> 
> After installing 10.3.9, you get the error message "segmentation fault".
> 
> SAPgui uses Mac OS X's Java runtime environment, so it's likely that 
> SAPgui won't launch after an upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3.9, although I 
> haven't been able to confirm that.
> 
> Given that, I would recommend not upgrading to Mac OS X 10.3.9 at this 
> time. Monday is a holiday in Massachusetts, but not in California; 
> hopefully Apple will fix the updater before Tuesday.
