While it is true, as you have stated, that 10.3.4 does not have any
financial troubles, versions 10.3.5 through 10.3.8 including many
important changes like the following:
- Repairs three or four flaws in Safari that allow websites to
masquerade as other websites (e.g. impersonate a banking or
commerce website).
- Solves two problems with the display of web/e-mail graphics and
QuickTime that could cause programmes to either crash or give access
to remote attackers.
- Solves "a kernel panic that could occur when dialing or connecting
to
your ISP via your internal Apple modem" or "when using an external,
wireless USB broadband modem" (Apple's words).
- Addresses DNS-related slowness in Safari and Mail.
- Solves many risks associated with Personal Web Sharing.
That is all probably TRUE .............. HOWEVER
If you have a spare hour or so to spend you could go and peruse various
problems other
people have experienced with the various updates following 10.3.4 : -

Actually I was going to try out 10.3.8 but the combo download I
received was flawed
and would not make an Installer. Checksum did not add up !
Have fun
