The consensus was, upgrade to Solaris 2.4. Unfortunately that is not
scheduled until August; so, I had to apply the patches the sun managers
identified.. This problem was/is a well known bug in 2.2 and was fixed by
the latest kernel patch 10999-xx (I used 10999-71) and 101348-xx (I used
101348-01).
