Hi Andy

Interesting. I have that patch installed on a couple of systems and have 
not seen this. The cron log files have rotated since the patch was 
installed. I installed all available patches (not just recommended or 
security).

Please advise any further info you get from Sun/Oracle. This might be 
one waiting to get me.
