[Anand Narwani]

Folks,
After some testing I have found the patch required to
fix this problem on Solaris 8.  The following patches
need to be installed (order is important):
112396
108987
111111
111293
111310
108528
108527

Here's the info on the patch that finally fixed it:

Patch-ID# 108827-30 
Keywords: security libthread malloc libc libnsl
libthread_db lipthread POSIX 
Synopsis: SunOS 5.8: /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 patch 
Date: Sep/06/2002
