Do you have any third-party kernel drivers installed?  Have you tried
running with "set kmem_flags=0xf" in /etc/system and then using
::findleaks in mdb?

(Note that 120011-14 is a patch ID number, which means that you're
running Solaris 10, which is *NOT* based on OpenSolaris.  When seeking
help for problems in non-OpenSolaris-based distributions, you might do
better with a list other than opensolaris.org ...)
