You appear to be right (broken system). Subsequent tests on other
Sun V240 w/Solaris 9 machines seem to run fine. All machines are
running the same binaries (via NFS), so there must be something wrong
with one or more OS files.

Now that I think about it, this one host had the Solaris
Patch Cluster applied, but has not been rebooted yet - duh!

Appreciate your input.
