Hey MIke, Marta is a guru (smile).
It looks like Apple had nothing to do on a Friday night (smile), so
yesterday they decided to release a couple of updates including 10.3.9.
Get via Apple's web-site or via SUPP.
One note: since this is an odd number update a thought of caution for
those of you with external Firewire hard-drives connected to your
Mac(s). Shutdown the external hard drive before doing the update. Then
start the drive back up afterwards.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if
I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
