Apparently it's not well known that Sun runs a bulletin board where you
can find out about patches, and have them email'd to you.

Call 1-800-477-4768, 2400 baud, even parity.  (I've had to send a break
after it answers to get a login prompt.)  Login as "guest".  Follow the
menus from there.

Patches I request this way usually arrive via email 3 or 4 days later.

I don't remember who told me about this....I think it was someone at Sun
when I was talking to the Hotline folks about getting a specific patch.
