SuperDuper! users the mystery bug has been found!!

[Harbourmaster]

Last post, I mentioned that we were bitten by a bug that showed up during late-in-the-game testing that didn't make a lot of sense, and was quite nasty in certain complex situations. This bug caused the "release process" to grind to a halt.

Well, I'm happy to say that, as of about two minutes ago, I've managed to figure out what's going on.

Magic ::= The behavior of the object has changed in a way that's too complicated - and likely uninteresting to the casual reader - to describe, however we have linked to the tech note if you really care.

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd like to start backing up my leopard systems, thank you.

Is this the link? - rdar://5687977

If so, I don't know what to do with it.

Hence, "magic"

Sounds a bit to me like a little tool that a programmer or troubleshooter might use to keep something from changing while testing was done, and then whoever put it there forgot about it and it got into the GM...
