Hi, Jason,

Just found this on SunSolve:

Solution Type Sun Alert
Solution  201321 :   Solaris 10 Systems With Certain Patches
                Installed May Experience Data Integrity Issues
                Over TCP Loopback  

1. Impact
Solaris 10 systems installed without patch 127111-03 or later
(SPARC) and without patch 127112-03 or later (x86) may experience
data mis-ordering which may cause data corruption. This can occur
when any program which uses TCP loopback connections is running.

x86 Platform
    * Solaris 10 with patch 118855-03 or later and without patch 127112-03

4. Workaround
To work around the described issue until patches can be installed, disable
TCP Fusion by adding the following line to the "/etc/system" file and reboot
the system:
    set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0x0

Have a look at the patches installed on your system (and you could also try
the workaround, of course).

It actually looks like 127112 has been superseded by 127128, and 11 is the
current patch rev (i.e. 127128-11).

Allan
