DESCRIPTION 
=====================================================================

Cumulative Packet Capture Driver (pcd) patch for Solaris. This patch
addresses the following issues:

1. Kernel Panic: at pcd_close+0x23c due to a Race Condition where the SessionInfo block could be freed while still in use 
2. Stability: Third party applications that open a stream on a network device no longer cause PCD capture sessions to stop/start unnecessarily.

ACCUMULATED FIXES
=====================================================================
