I'm pretty sure that was a temporary hiccup on SunSolve. During one of 
my downloads of the xref file yesterday I got a truncated file as well.

Later on and today everything seems OK. Well, the <PRE> and </PRE> are 
still included; Gerry Haskins has acknowledged this problem and filed CR 
6698802 (which seems to be invisible to non-Sun users on SunSolve though).

Strange. 127127 is pretty new, maybe the cluster hasn't been updated 
yet. I haven't used the clusters for years, so I don't know how quick 
they are updated.

If you freeze a copy of patchdiag.xref, download all patches before 
starting the actual patching *and* rely on Sun producing flawless 
patches (I've heard of some problems with 127127/127128, not unusual for 
kernel patches), you should be fine :)
