Hi Michael, 1 and 2 are both outside of zones (they are in the "global zone"), and they also hang seemingly indefinitely (I haven't kept them running long enough to prove me wrong yet, other than the one running in the zone). Since it is happening on fairly different systems - SXCE (workstation/ server) vs OpenSolaris 2008.11 (laptop), I'm inclined to think it isn't anything I've done with configuration ... but its hard to say for sure. Later I could try running it in a fresh install of some sort, in virtual box, if you have a specific version/configuration you'd like me to test with.
I haven't tried this on an official Solaris 10 release yet, but it seems strange that the bug would crop back up in newer releases of the OS.
