+  The upgrade process to Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) from an earlier version of OS
+  X deletes all user accounts that are either not part of OS X itself or are
+  not interactive user accounts (ones you log in with). Since,for the sake of
+  security, &my-app; runs as a non-privileged user that is created by its
+  installer (_privoxy), it can no longer start up once that account gets deleted
+  . The solution is to perform a complete uninstall using the supplied
+  <application>uninstall.command</application> script (either back up your
+  configuration files or select to not have the uninstaller remove them when it
+  prompts you) and then reinstall &my-app; using the installer package and merge
+  in your configuration.
