Jerry has been trying to reproduce this problem on a Solaris 2.6
box at Audobon (sp?) University and currently cannot.

I need some more information on what is going on here, some kind
of test case to reproduce it. Other large sites have reported
that 2.2.2 has fixed the similar problems they were having with
2.2.1a.

I need more info in order to help here.....
