Did you follow the unofficial, but recommended, update procedure?
Reboot from the install cd/dvd (or another partition or whatever)
Run the Disk Utility program and Verify/FixErrors on the system
partition
Run Repair Privileges
Reboot and do the update
Run Repair Privileges again
Anecdotally, following this process has (so far) always worked for me
and perhaps saved me some grief. <shrug>
I guess I can kind of understand why doing the disk verify/fix needs to
be special process that users need to run themselves on occasion and
system updates are as good a time as any. But I don't understand why
repairing privileges needs to be done by the user, or even at all for
that matter. What causes privileges to get screwed up anyway and why
can't it be prevented? If it's a necessary part of keeping your system
running smoothly, it should be done automatically, and if it's
especially important to do prior to updating system software, it should
be part of that process so the user doesn't have to think about it.

Hmmm.....
I re-ran the package installer and most things are happier. top
works, lsnrctl works etc. Something is definitely "off" though. Java
apps (Eclipse, OxygenXML) seem to load and run ok but I still get the
segmentation fault when running "java -version". I will dig into it,
thanks for your feedback
