Solaris 10 patch installation weirdness



I had to go and install patch 124208-01 as postfix stopped compiling.

All this patch contains are header files. So, why on earth did this
creature of an updatemanager require a reboot ("patch will be installed
upon reboot")? This is mind boggling - I didn't expect Sun to go back
to before Windows 98.
