Hi,

If you're using pca's --safe option when installing today's new bind 
patches for Solaris 10 (119783 and 119784), you might see this error:

   Checking files for safe patch installation
   failed file verification:
   pkgchk: ERROR: too many pathnames in list, limit is 1024

It's due to some malformed entries in the patch README files, namely:

   /usr/lib/dns/libdns.so.25 SUNWbind (deleted)
   /usr/lib/dns/libisc.so.14 SUNWbind (deleted)

The "SUNWbind" shouldn't be there and it confuses pkgchk. I've fixed the 
issue in the current development release of pca, 20090210-01:
