Hi John,

yes true it is a show stopper on Solaris - the HIGH regression tests
you posted passes on x86_64 and x86_32 so I agree it should not
prevent 1.0 from the x86 series.  I'll have a go at trying to
reproduce this on a ppc system (ps3 squeeze), if this fails to
reproduce the same bug then I think 1.0 should be flushed out for the
x86* linux systems

regards,
Gaius
