That document now lives at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-61-210954-1

(thought the old link - 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-61-81509-1 - still 
works too I believe...)

The reason for the two references is that all Sun Alert documents were 
migrated to a new system in the past year and in order to do this all 
documents had to be republished with a new document identifier being 
created (i.e. 210954 vs. 81509).
This initially caused a lot of issues, as the old document IDs and URI's 
no longer worked, but this issue has since been rectified and now both 
the old and new URI's should work for all migrated documents.

HTH,
