  The following people responded to my message:
  
     Robert Benites <benites@cs.unca.edu>
     Tim Carlson <tim@santafe.edu>
     Chad Price <cprice@biocomp.unl.edu>
     Charles Seeger <seeger@cise.ufl.edu>
     Martin Huber <hu@garfield.m.isar.de>
     Vince Hickey <hickey@nrlmry.navy.mil>
     Tim Hermes <tim@hermes.dciem.dnd.ca>
     Thomas Anders <anders@hmi.de>
     Candace Ordaz <candace.ordaz@utilpart.com>
     
  Tim Carlson and Thomas Anders both suggested using Casper Dik's
  fastpatch package - available from:
  
      ftp://ftp.wins.uva.nl:/pub/solaris/auto-install/install.tar.gz
     
  This indeed did the trick. Afer installing, the sequence I used
  was as follows:
  
        fastpatch -obO 103627-04
        fastpatch -p /opt/patches 103627-02
        
  I then ran an installpatch for patch 103627-02 for good measure, though
  this probably wasn't necessary. I made a few spot checks of file sizes
  and checksums, and it appears the patch was successfully backed out.
  
  Tim Hermes suggested simply re-installing 103627-04, then backing it out
  and installing 103627-02 again. This sounds logical, and had I been
  able to locate the original patch directory for 103627-04, I would have
  tried it.
  
  Many thanks to all who responded ...
