  And because of that, all of Unix sucks?

  Seriously, if the patches were causing such downtime, then why apply the
patches in the first place. It seems like the systems were up the other 20
days after the side effects were worked around, and after two, maybe three
times of that, I would not have bothered applying patches, or investigated
*why* the patches were causing so much problems in the first place. Was it
Sun supplying horrendous patches? Or your own developers who coded so
deeply to the system that any little change would break their software?

  Or heck, switch vendors if possible. There's plenty to choose from (and
IBM's AIX is quite nice).
