	If we're going to manage to include these in a patch release,
would it also be possible to get the most recent Solaris kernel patch
(108528-18)?  It fixes a security hole in the priocntl() system call
that lets any user load arbitrary kernel modules, and includes a fix
(actually from -15) where fsflush would fail to flush data to disk under
certain circumstances, which I think I may have seen.
