[wp-testers] Plugin update not working

[Stephen Rider]

perhaps not incidentally...

The problematic test server is running MAMP on Mac OS 10.5.6.

Plugin updates used to work fine.  I'm pretty sure I was updating even  
in WP 2.7 (certainly in beta versions).  I can't say what change might  
have triggered the error.
