Maybe we should press Sun to fix their bugs?

Until M$, Solaris was the top of the list of platforms with known bugs
that adversely affected Postgres; many of them bugs that were well known
through multiple Solaris releases. We just last week worked around a
Solaris bug that was publicly reported in 1995, for crissakes.

For me, Solaris would be the second-from-last platform choice. If
they want to get out of the cellar, they are going to have to work
harder. Not expect me to work around more and more of their bugs.
