Problem installing an Oracle patch using Perl on sunfire 3800

Greetings sunmanagers -

We have a system with a problem that we haven't been able to solve, and
Sun support doesn't seem to be able to help with either. The gist of the
problem is that we are trying to install Oracle 9.2.0 on this server.
Oracle installs fine, via the Oracle gui installer. Then we try to run
the patch script supplied by Oracle, opatch.pl. This script backs up
various files, then applies the patches. Except that it keeps getting
stuck at one point, and ends up hanging. The command that is executing
the perl script hangs and can't be killed. If we go into the directory
that is being worked on when this happens and try to do an ls -l, then
that session will hang. And all it is trying to do is copy a file to
file.bak in the same directory. If I do this copy manually from the
command line as the oracle user, no problem. It only happens when the
perl script is executing. We have tried uninstalling Oracle and
reinstalling it. We have tried copying the oracle installation from
/oracle to /ora_backup, changed oracle's env variables, and then
executed the script in the /ora_backup directory. Same problem. We have
tried sourcing oracle's env as root and tried running the script. Same
problem. Now - as an added bonus, we ran the same script on an identical
box that was built with the same jumpstart configuration as this box,
and it completes without a problem. WHY OH WHY IS IT FAILING ON THIS
BOX???

The Perl version we are using is /usr/bin/perl ->
../perl5/5.6.1/bin/perl
