    Dave,

    >DU runs 1.8.0p5 with fup attached
    >uname -a shows...
    >SunOS ladybug.erg.sri.com 5.4 generic sun4m sparc

    This machine appears to have never had any Sun patches installed.
    Otherwise, uname would report something like this:

    >uname -a
    >SunOS impact 5.4 Generic_101945-27 sun4m sparc

    The "generic" or "Generic_101945-27" part of the uname output is
    "the operating system version".  The operating system version gets updated
    when the kernel is patched, so ladybug's "generic" indicates that
    no kernel patches have ever been installed.

    Since, according to our sysadmin here, the kernel patches are the most
    likely to be installed, it is probable that there are no patches whatsoever
    installed on ladybug.

    I would start by asking SRI to install the current kernel patches for
    Solaris 2.4 and any network patches that might address the problem you're
    seeing.
