You guys might remember a post I did a week ago about Apple updating an update a week after it was first released (if you don’t remember, it’s here), and downplaying the fact that it did?

Using the wise old tactic of not calling attention to a mistake by not mentioning it in case no one really caught it in the first place, Apple just went ahead and fixed Security Update 2007-009 and quietly re-issued the corrected update, which was V.1.1, a week later.

If you want to know, what actually happened was that a number of users reported that Safari crashed when visiting certain websites after the patch was installed. Apple said,

Security Update 2007-009 v1.1 addresses an issue introduced in Security Update 2007-009 that may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit when browsing to certain websites”

This was an across-the-board glitch, which hosed Safari on Tiger, Leopard and Windows for some users. So Apple patched the patch and sent it out again. Apple screwed up. They went and fixed it. Mystery solved.
