Sounds like some questionable admin/development procedures to me.
Software patches put in production without being tested with
the os version they're running on... OS patches without checking
application issues.
Anyway both sets of patches should be backed out within 24 hours of
getting the SW bug, IMHO.
What version of Solaris are you talking about -- or is this an old
SunOS 4.x situation?
