6620575 problem with sockfs


Another fine bit of police work reveals that patch 148601-01 is a
security patch but not flagged as "Recommended" which is weird.

Helpful README tells me the bugids :

 6620575 problem with sockfs
 6648527 problem with TCP/IP

yep ... that helps.   :-\

As of today's patchdiag.xref file, it *is* marked RECOMMENDED. I think Don 
explained the procedure here once. AFAIR, adding a patch to the Recommended 
Patch Cluster does not necessarily happen at the same time as publishing the 
patch. So seeing some lags here is normal. If you follow the changes in the xref 
files closely, you'll see that patches often get marked RECOMMENDED a few days 
after they were first published.

Connected to my other email, those oddballs show up when you try
to graph the inter-dependencies.
