To be clear, this problem is *solved* by the fix for 6301218. The patches
with this fix are:
Solaris/SunOS 5.10_sparc patch T117461-06
Solaris/SunOS 5.10_x86 patch T118345-08
Solaris/SunOS 5.9_sparc patch T112963-23
Solaris/SunOS 5.9_x86 patch T113986-19
Solaris/SunOS 5.8_sparc patch T109147-38
Solaris/SunOS 5.8_x86 patch T109148-38
(thanks to Rod Evans for pointing out the possible confusion)
