Chris, Come to think of it, the order of application doesn't matter since the perf patch is exclusively for SPARC , and the DTrace patch is exclusively for x64. We should be fine as long as the architecture specific patches are applied after the other patches so that the other patches can be arch-neutral. On the testing front - it would be nice to have rorbench tested on p287. We caught a SEGV in Ruby the last time I tested this app on Ruby. thanks -ps -- Prashant Srinivasan F/OSS Enthusiast Sun Microsystems, Inc. http://blogs.sun.com/prashant GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x82FBDE5A
