On a MacOS X 10.2.3 system I'm getting crash logs from something
called 'fix_prebinding' when running the TSM 5.1 client. TSM
continues to run, and does successful backups, as far as I can tell;
the crashes appear to occur on input actions (keypresses, mouse
clicks). I didn't get such crashes when running MacOS X 10.1. Does
anyone know what this is and whether it can be eliminated?

fix_prebinding is a Mac OS X daemon that is launched whenever a binary
is
executed that has out-of-date dynamic linking prebinding hints. It is
supposed to scan the binary and dependent libraries, and update the
hints
in the binary. The benefit is faster launch times the next time it is
run.

If the environment variable DYLD_NO_FIX_PREBINDING is exported in the
environment when the TSM client is launched, the prebinding update won't
be attempted. BTW, If you leave it exported all the time, you may find
Mac OS X starts to slow down noticeably.

I'm a little surprised the daemon is crashing. I might download the
client
and try it on my 10.2.3 box...
