SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Internet Explorer for Sun Solaris on your multiprocessor workstation running Solaris 2.6, some or all processes associated with your login, including Window Manager, may stop responding (hang).

 * For Solaris 2.5.1, patch 103566-39+ is required.
 * For Solaris 2.6, patch 105633-32+ is required.
