Ugly Mac OS X Bug

This is now a repeatable bug.

Everytime Time Machine tries to back up my MacBook Air (OS X 10.5.2) to our Time Capsule (v7.3.1) over our wireless network, the MacBook Air suffers a catastrophic crash (entire OS, the kind where you must press and hold the power button to reset the machine).

Time Machine backups worked fine until very recently, the only things that changed recently are the application, via software update, of:

  • MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 1.0
  • MacBook Air Bluetooth Firmware 1.0
  • Safari 3.1.1

So logic suggests that one or a combination of those three things has broken Time Machine.
I can disable Time Machine backups and go back to Carbon Copy Cloner for the short term, but I am left wondering what my Time Capsule is for in the long term…
