E250 & Solaris 8 Hangs On Shutdown/Reboot

Hi,

Turning up a new server, running SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-24 on a
dual-processor E250. Somewhere along the line, the system began
hanging indefinitely on doing an "init 0" or "init 6." I put debug
echo's in all the /etc/rc*.d/K* scripts, and the culprit is
/etc/rc[01S].d/K41slpd. Put an "exit" at the top of that script and
shutdown proceeds like it should.

There is no /etc/inet/slp.conf, so slpd isn't running anyway. (I
confirmed this.) Since the only thing in the "stop" portion of that
script is a pkill and this tortured-looking Java thing:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib /usr/java1.2/jre/bin/java -classpath \
        /usr/share/lib/slp/slpd.jar:/usr/share/lib/ami/ami.jar \
        com.sun.slp.slpd stop -f $conf >/dev/null 2>&1

I'm sure I can be forgiven for suspecting whatever it's trying to do
with Java as being the culprit.

I wasn't able to find anything on Sun's site, nor via Google'ing,
relating to this.

Anybody have any idea what this script's problem might be? slpd's not
running any way. Any reason not to just leave this script disabled?

Thanks,
Jim
