Why did you then ask for a test on Solaris at all, if you are not interested in the answer? It means some effort to do such a test, which could have been saved. And how should it get testing on all Solaris versions, unless the change is committed? I'd guess that no single person has all Solaris versions at her disposal. Ulrich
