So, what is the bug supposed to be? All I see is a script that somebody me to run as root, but no description of the problem that supposedly exists, or how the script "corrects" it.

	Apple's X11 has library name bug
	Wednesday, January 29, 2003 @ 12:00pm

		The Fink Website recently posted a bug report with
		Apple's X11 X Window System: "While Apple's X11 works
		just fine with existing binaries, it has a bug in the
		install name of the libraries that can cause some
		software to build incorrectly, and will break
		forward-compatibility with future X11 releases. Ben
		Hines has created a script that you can use that will
		fix the install_name entries in Apple's X11 libraries,
		but it will not repair software you have already built
		against the broken libraries."
So is the script safe?
