The tail-2/pipe-f failures are due to those systems
not returning an error in poll() or select() against
a pipe where the reader has closed. We'll have to
look into a more general solution. Anyway this isn't
a regression in this release.

I can't repro the test-N failures, on solaris 10 or 11,
on tmpfs or nfs. What file system are you running those
SunOS tests on? Should we restrict the test to local file systems.
I'm guessing the stat(1) is updating atime.

thanks for all the testing!
