106541 isn't the Solaris 8 KJP...

Solaris 8 (at least from Generic_108528-09, I don't have
an FCS system to hand) isn't vulnerable:

        rich@mars5140# uname -a
        SunOS mars 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
        rich@mars5141# /usr/bin/write root `perl -e 'print "A" x 88'`
        Terminal name too long.


Ditto for the Solaris 9 Beta:

        rich@grover9141# uname -a
        SunOS grover 5.9 Beta sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
        rich@grover9149# /usr/bin/write root `perl -e 'print "A" x 88'`
        Terminal name too long.
