Hmm, I guess that we packaged it with the wrong ownership. This is a
file using to determine which files are volatile and that it is OK that
they changed.

Sure sounds like a bug. To try to figure out where it's coming from,
I'd go to the patch kit inventory files (look in /usr/.smdb. for files
with name that begins with "OSFPAT" and a type of ".lk" -- for each such
file, there is a corresponding ".inv" file that lists the files in the
patch subset, and you can use, for instance, awk to extract just the
file names), and for each of the files delivered in the patch, I'd look
in the file (with, for instance, the "grep" utility) to see if it
references a file "volatile.dat". That is NOT something that should be
there, as far as I know. Also, check the .scp files for OSFPAT to see
if one of the installation scripts put it there.
