Patchadd 113201-02 (VxVM 3.2) fails

FYI:

Patchadd of 113201-02 (or 111909-06), for VxVM 3.2 fails on Solaris 8. Sun
has documented the situation in an INTERNAL Bug ID 4786510 dated 26-Dec-02.
~~~~

Workaround:

Remove the latest 'pkgadd' patch 110934-10.

~~~~

Comments:

I could not remove 110934-10 because it is Jumpstart installed with the
'patchadd -d' preventing patch backout. Had to re-install Solaris.

110934-10 is included in the Dec/12/02 and Dec/24/02 Recommended Patch
Cluster. If you install these clusters, be sure to allow patch backouts.

I have 8 other systems with 110934-08 that are working fine.
