This is a known problem, which occurs in the farm as well. We have as
yet no good leads. It has been suggested there is a Solaris bug. Neal
recommended the following patches:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fpatches%2F108528&zone_32=signal+%20hang%20%22Solaris%208%22&wholewords=on

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fpatches%2F108827&zone_32=signal+%20hang%20%22Solaris%208%22&wholewords=on

Patches can be gotten from here:

  http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access

We have not yet had time to test these. Any result from applying these
patches will be appreciated.
