[Ham-Mac] Fix for Weird OS X Application Crashes

I realize most of the Mac OS users had no issues with
the recent OS X update to version 10.5.8.  This message
is for others that may have noticed more crashes on
application starts with the EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
error and the option to send a crash report to Apple.

The 'FIX' was to run the MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg
again! Since re-installing the OS X 10.5.8 combo, I have
not had a single application crash on start.  I have no
idea what it fixed but it worked!

Tip of the Day:  If fldigi, Entourage or other applications
are crashing on launch, quit everything and run the Apple
MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg installer again.

Hopefully, this tip will be useful to someone.
