FWIW, for those saying they didn't see the update, I updated this evening (4/20, 8PM EDT), so it was still available to me at least, at that time.
Got a tip for us?

Multiple User Issue
The "SecUpd2005-004" has an issue that affects users with multiple accounts. Any 'standard', or 'managed' accounts will not be able to log in after this update is installed.
Symptoms: 'Standard' or 'Managed' user tries to log in and never gets beyond the first screen with the horizontal spinning Barber Pole.
The simple fix, until the apple engineers release a patch (promised to be within 24hrs), is to turn any 'Standard' or 'Managed' accounts into 'Admin' accounts in System Preferences/Accounts. Login will proceed normally.
Hope this saves someone out there some agony.

From what I heard, this was only for managed users at levels below Standard. At any rate, my standard account logs in fine. I haven't tried my simple finder account yet, though, cuz I don't feel like locking my Mac up. Anyone know what the, erm, prognosticators of this issue are?
That is, what are the characteristics of a system that is likely to be b0rk'd by this?But I did have the F12 issue...just no issues with my Standard user account.
