        A lot of thanks to all people that tried to help me.

Most of the people:
   Harald van Breederode <hbreeder@nl.oracle.com>
   "Anthony Y. Y. CHOI" <anc@hkstar.com>
   "Carl E. Sloan" <ces@rdr.com>
   Michael Blandford <mikey@lanl.gov>
   "William T. Reckas" <zeke@fnoc.navy.mil>
   Dan Baritchi <dan.baritchi@mci.com>
   Martin Huber <garfield!hu@ie.technion.ac.il>
   Jason Keltz <cs911089@red.ariel.cs.yorku.ca>
   martin@dali.maths.unsw.EDU.AU
   Jens Fischer <jefi@kat.ina.de>
   Bill Wilson <jwgw@star.sr.bham.ac.uk>
 are saying that the patch must be installed from /tmp
(I always do so) and the permissions of all files must be 755
(yes, I'm untarring with -p flag, and the permissions are set to 755 -
 I've checked).

"Ronald W. Henderson" <rwh@atmos.albany.edu>:
   If your are installing with the Korn Shell (ksh) make sure you do
   not have the noclobber setting on.

   set +o noclobber
 
 I tried, but it doesn't help.

Casper Dik <casper@holland.Sun.COM>
  pointed me to the Solaris2 FAQ (answer 5.53) - to add an account
  "install" in the /etc/passwd - but it doesn't help too !!!
  (N.B. - the actual Solaris 2 FAQ is on
  <http://www.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html>. Casper told me, that
  it is on <http://www.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/>, but it's an old
  version - there aren't all answers here.)

        So, I'm still unable to install this patch on some computers.
        Here are the errors:
Generating list of files to be patched...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (exhaustive method) ...
