Yes, it fixed mine. I bought a new MBP 15" (2.3 quad i7) on Sunday, saw this thread that evening, and was able to easily dupe the issue over and over. Today the 10.6.7 update came out and I have not been able to duplicate the freeze. It's fixed, works great, problem solved.

10.6.7 == FIXED FIXED FIXED. (for those skimming :)

"wiping other countries off the map" does not exist as an idiom in persian, you've been misinformed.

Ahmadinejad didn't say either of these things. Seriously, look it up.

The translation presented by the official Islamic Republic News Agency has been challenged by Arash Norouzi, who says the statement "wiped off the map" was never made and that Ahmadinejad did not refer to the nation or land mass of Israel, but to the "regime occupying Jerusalem". Norouzi translated the original Persian to English, with the result, "the Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time."[11] Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, agrees that Ahmadinejad's statement should be translated as, "the Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).[12] According to Cole, "Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to 'wipe Israel off the map' because no such idiom exists in Persian." Instead, "he did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse."

That's a far, far cry from declaring your military intent to destroy Israel. And in case someone points out I omitted MEMRI's translation of this, I did so because they were founded by ex-Mossad, ie biased.

These people disagree:

yes, flash runs in its own process now so when it comes crashing down as it is wont to do, it doesn't take the rest of the browser down with it. i thought something had gone wrong with safari for the longest time until apple fixed this. it's bizarre to see something as simple as banner ads taking up 80% of my cpu cycles, then downing the whole plugin on a regular basis. as someone who basically lives in adobe products most of my day, it saddens me to see how buggy their software has become and how little they seem to care about fixing it.

how about lynx?

apparently they didn't read the sign then.

the russian booster reentry that you mention from ~10 yrs ago... did that happen to be over the pacific northwest? i was living in bellingham around then, and recall seeing quite a spectacular "meteorite" coming from the west and continuing over the eastern horizon. i thought i had looked up later to find it was a russian booster, but now i'm not sure. just curious, i'd love to know for sure.
