After upgrading our Solaris 2.5.1 boxes from 103566-21 to 103566-23
(OpenWindows 3.5.1: Xsun patch), xterm, which is one of the commands
patched by 103566, wouldn't run. The cure is to link
/usr/openwin/lib/libXaw.so.5, .../libXext.so.0 and libXm.so.4
into /lib.
Does anyone actually test patches before a release?

This is one way to solve the problem I suppose, the other is to set
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/openwin/lib in the master
Xsession. I unset my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and did a ldd on all of the
binaries they included in the patch and found that only xterm was
linked wrong (the didn't specify /usr/openwin/lib in the LD_RUN_PATH
or -R directive). I ran into the same problem you probably had when
xdm wouldn't allow logins after installing the patch.
As for testing, if your LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set, and included
/usr/openwin/lib (a very common thing), this could easily be
overlooked in testing....

4084821 xterm in 103566-23 was not built properly and does not execute
I just tried it and it works.

This recent patch 103566-23 installs a version of xterm that
doesn't have the reference to the openwin libraries built in.
ssh:foo# ldd xterm

This isn't popular with the xterm users.
