Solaris 9 8/03 + reasonably current patches is not equal to Solaris 9 12/03. I don't know what the specific dependency that SRSS 3 has on 9 12/03, however if you try to log a support call on SRSS3 on 8/03, you'll be asked to call back once you've upgraded the OS and can show that the problem still exists. Even if you just ping this list with a problem, someone will eventually ask what revision the OS is.
Minimum OS and patch levels are mandated not as annoyances to customers, but to provide a baseline against which a product has been regression tested, and to ensure that its support doesn't become an NP Complete problem. So if you want support from Sun (or anyone else), then its a real requirement. Are you aware of Live Upgrade? This can minimise the downtime of going through an OS upgrade, and if *something dreadful happens* you can immediately revert to the pre-exisiting configuration.
