Mac OS X Snow Leopard: a bug erases user data

Several Mac OS X Snow Leopard have lost all their data and files after opening a session "guest". This bug is present since the launch of the new operating system from Apple that an update is imminent.

Snow Leopard is the victim of a bug, more than dangerous, which deletes files, documents and settings for users who have the misfortune to sign a "guest". In fact, victims are most often clicked by mistake on the guest account on their Mac OS and found the loss of data in trying to return to their user account. Only hope for those unlucky restore their account via the Time Machine, the backup tool built into Snow Leopard.

Apple has just officially confirmed the existence of the bug, in response to many posts on the forum for technical assistance. The firm at the apple should soon publish an update of Mac OS X (10.6.2), but it is unclear if it will fix this problem.
