+# ***DANGEROUS*** WORKAROUND
+# There is a workaround for this issue which is recomended for *expert* users.
+# Implementing this workaround and being lazy about it can (read: most likely
+# *will*) result in a completely horked system after a software update.
+#
+# If do not follow this advise exactly, and your system becomes non-booting,
+# shame on you for not listening to me.

+# If you do follow this advise exactly, and your system becomes non-booting,
+# shame on you for listening to me.
+#
+# Can I make this any clearer?  If you are inclinded to blame anyone *but*
+# yourself if your system fails to boot, then DON'T DO THIS!
+#
+# You have been warned.
+#
+# It is your responsibility to verify the sanity of what you are about to do!
+#
+# PROCEED DO AT YOUR OWN PERIL
+#
+# UNDO THIS WORKAROUND BEFORE ANY APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE!
+#
+# To work around this issue (make sure this is really necessary before doing it):
+# sudo cp /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib /usr/lib/system/libsystem_notify.dylib
+# sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/lib/system/libsystem_notify.dylib /usr/lib/system/libsystem_notify.dylib
+# for f in /usr/lib/system/*dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib ; do sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib /usr/lib/system/libsystem_notify.dylib ${f} ; done
+# sudo /usr/bin/update_dyld_shared_cache
+# sudo reboot
+# sudo mv /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib.bak
