If there is an update, and you accept the update and it downloads, but
you DON'T install and you leave it at that state over night and between
machine sleeps, when you then tell the update to install the update
fails and gives the console message of:

Sparkle Error: An error occurred while installing the update. Please try again later.
Sparkle Error (continued): Sparkle Updater: Possible attack in progress! Attempting to "upgrade" from 1 to (null). Aborting update.

If you then try and check for updates again the app will crash with
signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”

This is with the latest version of Sparkle.
