Since your on Solaris 10, you have access to DTrace [1]. If you or one
of the Solaris systems administrator is familiar with this tool, then
I'd suggest you give it a try. DTrace helps troubleshoot problems on
servers by providing new detailed views of the system internals, to a
level that was previously difficult to access. Using both truss(1M)
and dtrace(1M), one would hope that you can pin-point your problem.
A quick search for dtrace turned out two books [2] [3] and several
links to blogs and articles, the personal DTrace website [4] of one of
the authors, Bendan Gregg. And the official Oracle page on DTrace [5].
HTH,
David
