If it helps, I've tested a slightly earlier version of IPF (4.1.9 on Solaris 10) and the same "active states not clearing" bug exists. I'm going to try and apply the orph.patch to 4.1.15 tonight; unfortunately its on an active server, so its hard to do this at my leisure.
As an aside, does anybody know if IPF 3.4 can be installed on Solaris 10? I've been trying to find any relatively modern OS that I could install 3.4on... as a temporary solution while 4.1 is problematic... Unfortunately the hardware I've got is fairly new (Sun Fire X2100 M2), and all modern o/s's that support this have IPF 4.1... corey
