Actually, if you can sign on to SGI's Supportfolio website (always a bit
dodgy) and figure out how to show all the patches (find the secret option,
win a free patch!) for your release level (`uname -aR`), then search the
screen (the type's too small to read) for "installation", you'll find the
patch.

Then, if you have JavaScript enabled (always a security concern) and don't
have a popup blocker (ditto), you can get another browser window that will
let you download the tardist, which, if you have a properly set up browser
(need I translate?) will call swmgr and install the patch.
