Well, for some inexplicable reason (because I deleted the files to start 
over again instead of using what was left on the second disk from the first 
install), the dry run failed.  Downloading a new patchset file now...

OK, ./do_cluster_install p-27886.zip, and that returns...
>>> Patch Cluster Extraction Utility v1.3.1 <<<

Ok.  erase.  Download the cluster patch again, and do_cluster_install
unzip p-*.zip unzips lots of files.  Now, ./do_cluster_install 1*zip returns
>>> Patch Cluster Extraction Utility v1.3.1 <<<

Patch 108434-06 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed.  This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

I'm too sick to deal with this anymore tonight.
