SGI has the patch ready. Ask your support folks for patch #981 which,
according to the README file: contains bug fixes for all versions of IRIX 5.2,
IRIX 5.3, IRIX 6.0 and IRIX 6.0.1, and 6.1. The software cannot be installed

Funny, though, the README mentions "Patch_SG0000931", but that's just a
slippery keyboard, I presume.
