Thanks to:

John Young <John_Young@sp.gap.com>

All suggest patch 107200-11 would seem to be defective. Last time I
looked, it's still sitting there on sunsolve and (presumably) is still
inside the Solaris 7 Recommended patch set.

Backing out the patch was the recommended solution, but I'd not had the
install_cluster script save the old stuff. Fortunately, Roger e-mailed
me the old stuff, so I could back the patch out.
