Greetings,
I got several responses to my query and although I have not had time to
obtain the patches yet, I am sending out this summary so as to inform
others who may be in the same situation as quicky as possible.
The consensus seems to be that patches 100726-12 (or higher) and
101408-01 are required to fix a known problem with the 51 hanging due
to heavy I/O. I will try this as soon as possible and let the list
know if there are still problems with the configuration.
I thank the following people (and any others whose messages may arrive
after I send this):

szh@zcon.com (Syed Zaeem Hosain)

Hats off to sun-managers, as usual.
