   *shrug* I don't think this is that important.  How many folks
   are running the broken ultras anyway?
   
All Ultra-I cpus are prone to the bug that any 64-bit program
can trigger.

Ultra-II is prone to another bug, but that just causes the
Solaris kernel to shrink the MEDLOW address space so that bug
can't be hit.

Ultra-III is free of these problems (but has others :-).
