Thanks to everyone who replied.
The summary is that LOTS of people are having a problem with 105802-05
(and with its x86 counterpart 105803-05). So it's clearly a bug with this
patch.
At least three people have filed bug reports with Sun.
One of them was assigned BugID 4171550.
It seems that all we can do it wait until Sun released a fixed patch.
Which they will hopefully do soon!
(One could back out of the patch; but then one leaves oneself open to the
remote root exploits described in the CERT advisory!)

>Late last week, in response to the CERT tooltalk advisory (CA-98.11),

>Also, since doing that 105802-05 patch install, I am fairly regularly

>Are others also having a problem with 105802-05?
