Selfupdate problem

[dan d.]

Trying to execute:

/bin/mv

Bombed.

I copyed a backup of mv to /bin and the selfupdate was successful.

Thanks much.

The fact that it's referring to line numbers makes it look like it thinks it's a text file, like a shell script, which it shouldn't be, but then the strings like __PAGEZERO and __TEXT that it's encountering within the file look like normal parts of a Mach-O executable.
