First, I'd try re-applying the combo updater from single-user mode  
(put the updater someplace accessible and install from the command  
line--it's the only way you can force a re-install of the updates).  I  
did this on my Tiger install when something got corrupted and my video  
files wouldn't play without stuttering and it fixed it up.

And of course, "repair permissions" before and after.  :-/
