Hi Eric,

I installed 
coreutils-8.7-sol10-sparc-local
and the following dependencies are described as being required on the sun 
freeware web site http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc10.html
libintl-3.4.0-sol10-sparc-local
libiconv-1.13.1-sol10-sparc-local
libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local
gmp-4.2.1-sol10-sparc-local

when using /usr/local/bin/mv there is no longer a core dump.

However when using /usr/local/bin/touch I still get a core dump.

Is there anything further that can be done?

Many thanks for your reply Eric, much appreciated. I'll install that and check 
it.

Known issue, and fixed in coreutils 8.7.

Yes.  Oracle's latest kernel patches to Solaris exposed a latent bug that had 
been hiding in earlier coreutils releases when it comes to setting file 
timestamps.
