yesterday my app was deploying (debug build) to the iPad fine. but today I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 (ie the current one), and now it spits a lot of nonsense out on the console, and hangs for an indeterminate time ( sometimes a couple of minutes or more ) before finally running the app on the device.
can anyone shed some light on this Behaviour? How do I get rid of it?
PS look at the last line:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.2.1 (8C148)/Symbols/System/Library/CoreServices/Encodings/libJapaneseConverter.dylib
what on earth is going on? I don't have anything to do with anything Japanese in my app, or anywhere else in my life. I have a couple of great Ghibli movies on my hard drive but that is it.

Reinstalling the SDK fixed it.
NB I also set my device in to restore mode by holding down both buttons for yonks, and letting iTunes put the latest iOS on it
EDIT: Just talking with someone else on IRC who had the same problem -- he sorted it out by deleting his symbols folder from /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ ... probably a bit smarter than reinstalling everything.
^^ ie exactly what Philip said above!
