[pca] patch issue

[Dominique Frise]

We also saw this on all our Sparc servers where the following bunch of 
patches -including kernel patch 141444-09- was applied:

Oct 14 21:01:24 ged pca: [ID 702911 local3.notice] Installed patch 
141026-06 (SunOS 5.10: print patch)

We told Sun about this issue but got no answer.
In the meantime, we stopped fmd (# svcadm disable svc:/system/fmd:default)
