Something to report:

While the large 377 MB update worked fine on my PPC G5 PowerMac, the  
two Intel MacBook Pros I updated with the 190 MB version faired worse.  
One failed to reboot, stuck on the spinning thing, and required a  
little maintenance before successfully rebooting to seeming  
improvement on the Airport connection, which was sorely needed and  
expected.

The 2nd MacBook Pro took the update normally, but when it rebooted I  
saw an icon at reboot I've never seen before. It faded away after  
several seconds and the Desktop presented itself normally then. Since  
this isn't my computer, I'm uncertain if this icon was part of the  
System software or some 3rd-party application? I rebooted several more  
times, and the icon presented itself each time. I looked in the  
startup items and Activity monitor and saw nothing "extra" running.

The unknown icon was a little larger than one inch in the center of  
the LCD near the end of the boot just after the grey screen ends at  
the earliest beginning of the almost instant blue screen to Desktop  
transition. It was a icon of a "rope" in the shape of the Apple  
Command 4-way cloverleaf symbol. The rope formed the command  
cloverleaf, but where it came back to itself in the upper right  
quadrant instead of connecting seamlessly to itself, it was tied in a  
square knot with loose ends showing on the exterior of the cloverleaf  
icon, seeming to indicated "something twisted and tied up"? Anyone  
seen this icon at startup before or know what it is?
