+ 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.
