Applied the patch but ran into one "gotcha".  The server wasn't
starting up properly after applyign the patch.  I tried running the
binary in the foreground and turns out it was complaining about not
being able to find /dev/poll in the chroot environment.

I ran:

  # cd /var/named/dev
  # mknod poll c 138 0
  # chmod 666 poll

And everything worked fine.  I'm not sure if Sun built things
differently or there is a new requirement on this /dev/poll file.
Regardless all seems to be working OK now.
