After I applied 141445-09 on a x86 server in single-user, I noticed some 
tools like "dhtadm" do not work anymore. After some digging, I found 
that the "pagesize" commands returns an error:

# pagesize
ld.so.1: pagesize: fatal: libc.so.1: version `SUNW_1.22.5' not found 
(required by file /usr/bin/pagesize)
ld.so.1: pagesize: fatal: libc.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

Can someone can confirm this ?
