[Q] SIGSEGV during "showrev -p"?

Uh-oh .. something's a miss;  in an attempt to rid ourselves of a recurring
deadlock problem, the latest patches were applied to our system (see below). 
Sadly, however, after installing the patches, any attempt to run "showrev
-p" results in a SIGSEGV (but "showrev" alone is fine).

Ideas?

  Hardware:
    Sun SPARCstation 20/612 MP
    64Mb real RAM, 398Mb virtual memory
    ROM rev 2.15
    CPUs: 2 x TI,TMS390Z55 60MHz
  Software:
    Solaris 2.3 (Generic Patch July 1994)
    Kernel Arch - sun4m
  Patches:
    101317-09, 101318-54, 101327-07, 101331-03, 101344-10, 101347-02,
    101615-02, 101739-04, 101889-01
  Error:
    % showrev -p                                            
    showrev: Method program unexpectedly terminated with signal 11

The "showrev -p" command worked after applying all the patches listed above,
but *prior* to rebooting;  upon rebooting (to effect all patches), the above
problem has surfaced.

The machine hasn't crashed yet (touch wood!), although tomorrow the
development work gets underway again, and I'd like to have the beast as
stable as possible.

Any/all help appreciated, thanks..
