SOLUTION:
Casper Dik said to try 103226-06. We did. It worked, so Casper
has yet another rescue to is credit.
Note from the problem report that we had tried 103226-03 which was
the latest version we could find on Sunsolve Patch CDs.
We only found 103226-06 via SunSolve ONLINE. Some of the online
patches are free and some can only be accessed by paying customers.
I think this one is only available to paying customers.
Thanks to these folks who also responded; most reported having the
same problem with no solution...
