I just tested it with (blaswave) emacs-21.4 and solaris
10U3. "print-buffer" does what it is supposed to do and works OK.
The problem I wrote about is on solaris 11 (02/07) and emacs-22.1

This version can't be tested on S10 (yet). Compiling does not work and
Blastwave still has to 'deliver' ;-)

Sure would like to know if this is a bug and where to look for the
solution. Maybe someone will know.
