ok, what did Sun break now? (hello... have you heard of QA?)
smpatch analyze shows a few patches and no details on a system that was working fine and has had no new patches applied since last good smpatch analyze.
This occurs on Solaris 10 both sparc and x64
Solaris 8/9 don't seem affected by this.

#
running patchdiag shows more than 50 patches needing to be applied.
Does Sun want us to use this product or what?
needs to be reliable, not flaky every other month.
