One thing I've not seen an answer to: does Postgres run acceptably on other
people's Solaris boxes? If this bug is preventing running on Solaris at
all, I'd say fix it ... Solaris is a major platform. If it only affects
users of one particular Solaris patch version, then we do a big warning and
save it for 7.4.1.
