Intresting problem concerning libresolv.so.2

    I've run into an interesting dilema with a machine that's running Solaris
    8..  It would appear as if the /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2 file changed, but
    didn't really change..
    
    What I mean is this..  We run Tripwire on this box, and Tripwire reported
    that the hash sums were different than what it expected.  Everything else
    was the same (timestamps, inode, block values, etc).  This would indicate
    that the contents changed inside the file..
    
    What's also interesting is that this is the *only* file that was listed in
    the tripwire report for the day.  Nothing else changed (at least according
    to Tripwire).
    
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?  For what it's worth the box does run
    sendmail, and was patched for the March vulnerability, but not the April
    vulnerability.
    
    Thanks,
    Sam
