Mac OS X 10.3.6 Update (#15): Filename truncation and DNS fixes on the way; USB mic issues

Fixes for filename truncation bug, DNS bug on the way Over the past couple weeks we've covered extensively a bug in Mac OS X 10.3.6 that can cause the truncation of filenames when copying files to/from remote volumes. Although we've provided a number of suggested workarounds, we've received word from several sources that the upcoming Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update fixes this bug.

We've also been told by several readers that the current beta version of the 10.3.7 Update fixes the widespread DNS issue that causes Safari to be unable to contact websites on the first try. We have no word on when this Update will be released.

USB microphone issue Reader Gary Ballard writes that the Update has adversely affected his USB microphone:

"After installing the 10.3.6 update on a Power Mac G5 dual 2.0 processor system, it now has an issue with OS X not always [recognizing] the MacMice USB MicFlex microphone at login. Current work around is unplugging microphone and plugging back in."
