bug#12523: Solaris 10 "cp -p" returns unknown error on NFSv4 share, permissions preserve not work

[Ryba, Lukas]

Hello,

i opened support case with the vendor. We have to sort out other possible 
issues(NFS server/client,configuration etc) but solaris libc is suspicious.
Workaround is simple. Just not use facl call right now. acl works ok.
I reproduced this error on Solaris 10 update 6 too, so it seems to be not 
update specific issue.

Regards

Lukas Ryba

So, facl failed and set errno to -1?

Can you investigate why that might happen?  facl is not
supposed to do that.  facl is a system call, which means
the Solaris kernel's doing it.
