10.5.7 SystemUIServer freezes (because of Bluetooth?)
I just updated to 10.5.7, and when my system came back up, my SystemUIServer process kept hanging, as evidenced by a spinning beachball when I mouseover the Menu Extras area, and Activity Monitor confirms this.
I suspected the problem might have been related to MenuMeters, so I deleted com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from my home directory, which didn't seem to affect anything.
Now I suspect it has something to do with Bluetooth, as when I run SystemUIServer under GDB and perform a backtrace at the point where it gets frozen, I see the following:
^Z

In writing up this message, I decided to try opening the Bluetooth prefpane, which has resulted in System Preferences dying in a beachball. While I have Bluetooth associated devices with this computer in the past, I do not regularly use any Bluetooth devices, and there are none currently turned on around my computer.
Has anyone else experienced issues such as these after the update?
