I just received and installed that lastest SLS patch from SCO (xnx155).
I noticed that it installs a new adb patcher program as /etc/patch.
It is *NOT* the same 'patch' program widely used on the net to apply
patches to distributed sources.  (Messed with my head for awhile while
trying to apply a patch until I figured out I was running the wrong
patch program :-)

Other than that, it appears to include a lot of other corrections 
including consolidating other SLS patches into one big patch. 

	o Corrects boot problems of large kernels.
	o Correct a problem with detecting Memory Parity errors
	o Elmiminates descriptive:
		"dfalloc: PANIC: frame not free at exit"
	  (The reason why we got the patch...:-)
	o Many serial port corrections (MCA too).
	o New cpio
	o The patch program for adb patches to the system.
	o Screen flicker problems on PS/2 P70 Plasma Screens

and much more...

The kernal updates to 2.3.3 although the utilties remain at their
original 2.3.2 level...
