[SPARCbook] Display problem with Netscape 4.73 under Solaris 2.6

[Ken Hansen]

I'll take a look later tonight - this may be one of the patches that were
changed when the Sun Recommended Patch Cluster grew from 20+ Meg
to nearly 40 Meg!

So the Patch is 105284, and the "level" is 33, is that the correct breakdown
of the number? There may have been an earlier "level" patch that did not
"break" netscape...

Thanks a heap for the investigation work!

Ken
