" Dear Customer,
You signed up to be notified when the issue regarding QuickTime 7.1.5 and TurboTax was resolved.
We are pleased to inform you that we've just released a patch to resolve this issue. Please download the manual update by clicking here. (http://ftpfp.quicken.com/pub/turbotax/2006/TT06_update.app.dmg)
After you have downloaded the manual patch, double click it in order to install. Installing this patch will not affect your current tax file.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you, TurboTax Support "

BTW: Ed (who had verified this problem last week w/10.3.9/QT 7.1.5) said there's an update to TurboTax (he has Home and Business edition) available via the update check also (5 part update he said - get info afterwards showed v06-53). After applying that update TurboTax no longer quits on his 10.3.9/QT 7.1.5 system. (He had not applied the above patch so the update check/download must have installed the same patch as above.) Regardless, you should check for TT updates often for other changes/corrections/form updates, etc. (Ed said he's seen updates even after the filing deadline...)

" I wrote a kernel module which enables L3 cache on G4 models on which it was originally not supported.

His page notes he tested in 10.3.9 but that it wasn't OS X Tiger/10.4.x compatible. (For those that have swapped OEM CPUs and don't have the L3 enabled by default, let me know if you've used some other utility (PL, Sonnet, etc.) or manually used an OF command/setting that enabled it.
(Although not specific to the L3 cache issue above, JJ sent a reminder on Sonnet's SonnetCache patch that corrects the problem were Apple System profiler fails to properly report CPU speed on some 745x CPUs (as mentioned several years ago here when this first came up - the problem is due to the fact later 745x CPUs reused some lower ratio (bus multiplier) PLL settings for higher ratio settings (IIRC 9.5x, 10.5x, 11.5x, etc..) Sonnet's software corrected that misreporting (which for affected users could prevent some apps like FCP from running due to the low CPU speed reported.)

"Important: The introduction of Olson Timezone (TZ) data, version 2007a or later may not allow backward compatibility for the Eastern, Hawaiian, and Mountain time zones for some Java applications under certain circumstances. See this article for information about using Sun's tzupdater tool to update your time zones, for best backward compatibility."

The article link is to Apple's doc on Java: Updating time zones for earlier Java installations and backward compatibility which also refers to Sun's Alert 102836 for more details on the Olson Timezone data backwards compatibility issue. (And If you missed it last week, users of OS X 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 can download DST fixes not released by Apple at cis.unh.edu.)
