Many thanks to all who responded. Lots of people have suffered similar which isn't good. Lots of people have had CPU's replaced by Sun as a "fix" for this. Looking further and further into it, moving up to 105181-26 for 2.6 is certainly a good move. This obviously begs the question why Sun are willing to swap out an expensive piece of hardware for what seems to be a well-known, well-reported problem experienced by many customers when there's a possibility a patch can fix the issue. I suspect there *are* some faulty 400Mhz+ processors in the field with ecache problems - that would certainly explain Sun's willingness to part-swap so readily.
