What gives here? I'm still on Tiger, but thinking of upgrading.
Could be more to it, of course, but from what I've seen, the 'ole incomplete cache purge bug is baaaaack. SSDD. This has been a problem on and off since Panther... Apple's updates fail to do all the necessaries to force the kernel cache to be fully rebuilt on the next boot.
Tools such as OnyX and AppleJack do it quite reliably, but apparently not Apple's installer. sigh.
The fix is to run OnyX or another tool to empty the kernel, system, app, and font caches, then reboot. Or boot with the shift key held down. As part of the process to get into Safe Mode, the caches will be emptied and rebuilt. Then reboot normally, and hopefully, everything should be good to go.
OTGH, the 10.7.2 update is so new the bits aren't quite dry. Might be worth waiting a while before updating...
