Hi,

I recently ran Disk Utility, clicked the Verify Disk button, and it found a 
problem with my boot drive.  I then booted from the recovery partition, ran 
Disk Utility again, clicked the Repair Disk button, and it supposedly fixed the 
problem.  The message from Disk Utility was:

"Incorrect number of extended attributes
(It should be 479918 instead of 479917)"

Does anyone know what this means?  Is this a sign of bad things to come, or is 
this a fairly common and/or minor problem?  I googled the error message and 
found others with the same question, but I did not see an answer.

Also, this may just be coincidence, but within the last week I had the same 
thing occur on both my Mac Pro at home and my Mac Pro at work, both running the 
latest 10.8.4 version of MacOSX.  This made me wonder if something had infected 
one of my machines, and then perhaps I transferred the infection to the other 
machine.  Hopefully that is not the case, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks,

Gregg
