As a follow up, after upgrading to 10.2 I had a major OS problem after
the installation of Internet Explorer 5.2.2 which I resolved by using
Disk Utility to repair the Disk Permissions which have been totally
corrupted by the installation process. It might be that a similar
corruption might have happened when people installed new versions of
other software like tetex, etc..
Repairing the Disk Permission certainly doesn't do any damage.
Also doing
sudo update_prebinding -root /
which I do occasionally might help.
