I thought this was just cleanup. Why does Solaris need it? I don't
remember it has been so long. I see it referenced here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-10/msg01261.php

Is this some Sun bug or an optimization that is causing the problem.

The fact that this patch is not in beta3 has me worried about putting it
in with no beta before RC1.
