:)

The best bet at this point, if you want to pursue this further, is to
submit a bug report to SF.  There are definitely folks with access to
Solaris who read those bug reports.  Please include any output from
compilation or configure, etc.

I haven't had a Solaris system in going on 2 years now, and the last
rev I think I used was 2.6 <5.6 wink>.
