So ... You believe the "can't-delete-snap-because-disk-is-full" bug is
already fixed in recent builds of osol, but not yet built into sol10?  Is
there any bug report, patch, or documentation about that?  I would happily
call back in, referencing my case number, and tell them to implement that
damn patch into sol10.  ;-)

This seems to imply that you've had this problem before, too, right?  And
you have it with enough regularity that you've been able to see the system
behavior without this fix ... and see the system behavior with this fix ...
And this is indeed a fix?

Thanks, ttyl...
