Yep.  In fact, when that didn't work, I tried rebooting and I could
still get in.  Do you have any other patches installed on your 5.3
system?  There is only one on my test 5.3 system:

   # versions -b | grep patch
   I  patchSG0001096       08/12/96  Patch SG0001096: Objectsystem ...

The engineers at SGI are working on a patch for this
as we speak so hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Cheers,
Vern
