I was thinking along these lines, but my Solaris knowledge is too old
and the number of Solaris boxes I have to experiment with is approx 0.
And at my work there is no Solaris no more (*).

Chaning such a thing in the middle of a release is enough to feed hate
(in good companionship with Tru and AIX which also happen to change
critical stuff in minor bugfix releases, not to talk about Linux...)
