Guys -

This is almost certainly a problem with your .changes file, most likely due to erroneous text conversion during download or unpacking.  The selector-has-changed error is complaining during a recompilation, indicating that your prior source code is not in good shape.  You can verify this by browsing to Process>>resumeProcess *before* attempting to update.

I have run the same update without error, and have verified that the update in question is identical on each of our redundant servers.

Hope this helps

	- Dan
