If anyone had actually bothered to look at Sunsolve or call Sun support
before jumping to rash conclusions they would have realised that Sun
actually fixed these problems some time in June - long before "George
Clooney" posted his diatribe on July 1st.

The only patch I have first hand knowledge of is the 2.5.1 patch, which
is 103612-41, but Sun assure me that similar patches are available for
other releases.

Please, can we have some rational thought on bugtraq?
