After patching s10FCS on E4000 system with the Solaris 10 patchset for 15th Dec 2010,
XMLTest benchmark begins to fail as java core dumps with the following error:

Performing a binary chop through the OrderList of the patchset, we were able to
isolate the point of introduction to patch 118667-29.

Details for patch 118667-29:

There does not seem to be any prerequisites for this patch, so the system has been
reinstalled with s10FCS and patched with only 118667-29 and the issue is confirmed.
