In the current patchdiag.xref (Oct/02/11) the state of 119081-25 has been 
reverted to active (not obsolete) again. Same for the other 7 patches that were 
affected (106922, 108982, 109082, 109647, 117662, 117851, 119070). So everything 
is fine again.

I also checked for other possible problematic patches with this command:

   grep '|O|' patchdiag.xref | egrep -vi "Obsoleted by|withdrawn"

It only comes up with 4 old revisions of 118822 now, which are marked Obsolete 
and Bad, which is not a problem.

If you ever find an explanation for how this happened, I'd be interested to hear 
about it!

Martin.
