What exactly became of the "bad patches"

807575Dec 11 2000
Some months ago the http://www.sun.com/forte/developer/hotnews.html page advertising that some BAD patches existed without going into too much detail about them. I experienced an application breaking in DBTools.h++ after applying some recommended patches for Sun Workshop 5 and therefore rolled them back. I even stepped through the debugger and saw erroneous assignements to a template class' constructor arguments.

My revisions before patching were: 107295-01, 107311-09, 107354-01, 107355-04, 107357-07
The changed revisions after patching were 02, 11, 02, 06, 09 respectively. These are still the recommended patches and I have tried patching a completely unpatched machine at a different site also using DBTools.h++ and seeing it break again.

Questions are:
Can I obtain the older revision levels of the patches ?
Can someone shed some light on what approach to take to this ?

Thanks
