For what it's worth, I have been running regression on Solaris with
numerous of the betas, and RC1 and [just now] RC2, with NO problems.

If the patch is deemed vital for others, it's possible that all I'm
reporting is one of the statistics that will be outnumbered by others.
(And in that case, I would be quick to test the patch to ensure it
causes no adverse side-effects.)

But it's not apparent that it is _vital_ here right now.
