Problem with QT 7.1.6 update anyone

[Nils Holland]

Hi folks,

I just wanted to ask if anyone has seen something like this during  
yesterday's QuickTime 7.1.6 update:

On both a MacBook Pro and a MacPro, during the QuickTime update  
process, I get a message that "ConfigureMimeTypes" has crashed. This  
happens when applying the software via Software Update, as well as  
when downloading the whole QT disk image and installing from there.  
Of course, I get a crash log, but that's kind of long, so I won't  
quote it here. In my system.log, however, the problem manifests like  
this:

> May  2 09:12:54 MacPro sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ;  
> USER=admin ; COMMAND=/private/var/tmp/folders.501/Cleanup At  
> Startup/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.RuOE3U/QuickTime716.pkg/Contents/ 
> Resources/ConfigureMimeTypes -rescan -verbose
> May  2 09:13:31 MacPro crashdump[274]: ConfigureMimeTypes crashed

Interestingly, on another machine - a MacBook - this did not happen.  
And then, on the machines that had the crash, I can not see any  
problems or issues now.

Concerning the cause, I can only speculate: On the machines that had  
the crash, I'm running OmniWeb as my default browser, the other  
machine uses Safari. Additionally, the crashy machines run PathFinder  
(in addition to the normal Finder, not as replacement), while the  
"good" machine uses the genuine Finder. Everything else should be  
quite similiar on all machines.

So, the question: Has anyone else had this issue yesterday? If so, do  
you happen to use OmniWeb and / or PathFinder as well?

I've already submitted my crash reports to Apple with a little  
description, but I'm still curious if I'm the only one who's seen this.

Greetings,
Nils
