Possibly remind the reader/installer that when installing the 5.0 tools,
the "install all the patches" script on that CD (which the CD install
instructions assume that you run, of course) adds 107058-01 automatically.
I only /happened/ to catch the patch # scrolling by and /happened/ to
recall reading the specific.html blurb a month before.  I suspect some
people can get into problems this way.

I can submit bugs to Sun (we have a support contract and I have some spare
time), but I found out this week that the mailserver at work is on the ORBS
blacklist :-( so I've been holding off from joining the discussion until I
can actually send mail to these lists.  I will be more than willing to help
once I convince the mail admin...
