What is Unlockupd - OSX patch for Lookupd instability in OSX 10.0-10.4? Unlockupd (created by John Bafford - http://bafford.com/software/unlockupd/) is a background process that forces OSX's overtaxed Lookupd daemon to quit and restart if it become unresponsive. Lookupd-hangs manifest as Finder Lockups, Kernel Panics, audio cut-outs, failure of files to delete even after no-longer being used and such. The problems grow more serious with the inclusion of extra USB devices, during Bus-Saturation events: like if using a High-Speed SSD, and most often in apps like TenFourFox that bite-swap lots of Little-Endian strings in web-code. Lookupd is so problematic that Apple removed it in Leopard. If you need Panther or Tiger to be all they can be, this small app will greatly improve system stability (in systems where Bad RAM/logic-boards and such are not factors).
