weird problem(s)

Dear managers,

I am not able to run things like acroread, opera, kde, gnome at the moment
on two of my solaris 9 112233-12 servers. They just hang and do nothing:
acroread core dumps when I kill it, KDE logs in really slowly & ends up at a
gray screen.

The only common thing between these servers are:
- I've installed on them both are patches 112807-10, 116807-01
- rebooted them to fix a hanging gupdatedb/gfind problem on both of them,
- which is still happening. I have a cron job to run
/opt/sfw/bin/gupdatedb.sh daily, but these days it seems to run really
slowly (or perhaps it is a hang?) on these two servers with gfind chewing
20+% CPU. (found out from another sunmanagers summary that a reboot fixes
this for Solaris 9. It worked before for me, but not this time).

My only hint is logging in as root displays acroread and opera normally.
Would appreciate it if anyone can tell me which further info I should give
to find out the source of these problems. It's quite peculiar that these two
machines are giving similar symptoms.
