bad patches

Hello all,
Based on Randy's summary "High IO problem after in-
stalling 8_Recommended", I am wondering about Solaris
patch testing. Is any done? Just recently, I had a
problem with 109320-09 (SunOS 5.8: LP Patch). It was part
of the 8_Recommended patch set. After installing, when
printing to print servers, only a few pages of a job come
out; then the job restarts from the beginning. It does it
over and over. It only does this on print servers that
use the LPR protocol. This patch is still part of the
8_Recommended set. I ended up backing out 109320-09 and
using 109320-08 as 09 did not seem to fix anything related
to what I was doing.
 
Thanks in advance and will summarize,
chuck

Thanks to everyone who responded--too many to list. The solution was to
back down 2 kernel revisions to 108528-27. In doing this though, I had to
remove 24 other patches that the cluster installed before I could remove
108528-29. This was a pain, but after removing the patches, installing
the new kernel, and rebooting the problem was resolved. Thanks again.
