I don't see this with contextual menus in the Finder (with 10.3.5). Do 
you have any special extension installed? Contextual menu items live in 
/Library/Contextual Menu Items and similar. For example, on my disk 
there is:

Portable-de-Bruno:/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items brunovoisin$ ls 
-l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102  7 Jun 12:18 FolderActionsMenu.plugin

Portable-de-Bruno:/Library/Contextual Menu Items brunovoisin$ ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxr-x  4 root  admin  136  7 Jun 16:37 StuffItCM.plugin
