Solaris 8 - Kernel Patches Not Updating 64-bit Files

I recently took over support of a large group of Solaris 8 machines. I
tried installing the latest (7/24) recommended patches as 'uname -a'
showed kernel release 117350-02. After rebooting the kernel was still
showing 117350-02 even though the patch cluster installed 117350-47.

After debugging I found that (since the 117350-02 patch) the newer
kernel patches are only updating the 32-bit files and skipping the
64-bit ones. Does this make any sense? The system is running fine on the
64-bit version of the 117350-02 patch.

Since the 02 patch the 18, 45, & 46 patches have been installed before
my time so I don't know how they were installed.
