This is a leak from the Apple Scripting program -- on the mac, the  
default pdf viewer, called Preview,
has the nasty feature of not refreshing the image of an already-open  
file when it is called from the
shell to (re)open it.   To get around that, we have a script that  
gets Preview to do a "Revert" along with
the open.  The script seems to have triggered a bug in the new OSX  
version of AppleScripts.

Two possible "solutions" --
(1) disable the script and do "Revert" by hand as necessary, or
(2) ignore the error messages and wait for Apple to fix the bug.

To disable the script, open your ~/.tiogainit and change pdf_viewer  
from 'repreview' to 'open'.

Good luck!

BTW: you might want to be really brave and try the Mac GUI for Tioga:
