And on this machine:

$ uname -a
SunOS neuromancer 5.6 Generic_Patch sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
$

With _all_ recommended patches as of yesterday (plus any other patches integrated in 2.6 
HW3/98) the problem _still_ shows. (is someone is interested in showrev -p output, mail 
me. I have no intention of flooding the list).

I was going to ask wether the problem is back with HW3/98, but I just tried it on FCS 
Euro Solaris 2.6. Same problem.
