This was EXACTLY the fix.  :)  I came to this idea independently when I
saw the output of zdb mentioned "cached info"
root at harvest:/var/crash/harvest/2012.07.23# more zdb-data

*Cached configuration:
*        version: 28
        name: 'data'
        state: 0

And then remembered that there was something in /etc/zfs that Solaris 10
had.
