Congratulations on isolating this bug. I'm sure you had a lot of fun 
with 125555-06 :) It's a good example why a programmer shouldn't rely on 
any assumptions - obviously the author of the prepatch script couldn't 
imagine a root filesystem which isn't named "/". Though of course the 
output of "df -n" isn't really nicely machine-readable either ..

Don - is there a chance that we get a new revision of 125555 which would 
fix this? While 137137 is pre-installed in Solaris after 10 10/08, there 
are obviously still people patching older systems.

Martin.
