The executable was build on Solaris 2.6. I also do not have a problem with make-frame-on-display when I am running the eecutable from a Solaris 7 machine. So it seems to be an OS issue rather than a GNU Emacs bug. However, if have any additional information on the likely cause or perhaps an OS patch for Solaris 8 then please let me know.
