System-Wide Freezes on 10.4.2?

Brent Simmons points to reports on MacFixIt and Apple’s discussion forums showing that people are getting system-wide lock-ups after while using web browsers; anecdotal evidence seems to point in the direction of some bad interaction between lookupd and Apple’s most recent Java update. I haven’t seen any problems like this personally, but then again, I haven’t installed the latest Java update, either.
