I'm curious about whether this patch will be part of the "recommended"
bundle, and thus available to those without a sunsolve account.  It'll
likely be part of the "recommended" set if the fix is located in files
already in that bundle.  Are you able to figure that out?  (Or simply
list the files and I'll try and determine it.)

At one point I worked for a company who received a "T" patch and I was
able to coax sun into releasing an official patch sooner.  I did this
at the time because I felt that the more people using the code (more
than just me!), the more likely it didn't have some other horrible
problem. :-)

Do you think you could prod sun into releasing this officially more
quickly?  I know that I personally would be able to be more productive
if I could run the testsuite in parallel and post results more
quickly.

That patch didn't fix the problem for me either.
