Perfect .. you are welcome ofc.

Can you add a bug report to our bugzilla
and attach the patch you have used (which is unknown to me right now) ?
This has also the benefit that we don't loose this information

Yes, Solaris/Sparc is not on our focus right now .. but will do, if feasible.

Thank you!
