[pca] patch issue [OT]

[Michele Vecchiato]

Hi Kevin,
IMHO: think the problem is on the *device driver fiber card that works 
badly in some conditions* (momentary loss of connection, badly 
masking/zoning, etc.). Try to investigate in this direction...See my 
email quote bottom(start with "MV>").
Could be a similar problem with the network card drivers on T2000 at here[1]

and with a valid SOA (Sun Online Account) here[2]:

Bye Michele
P.S.: Excuse me for bad English, but Italian ;)
