I'll try to look into this patch later.

Old code worked in build 105. I think OpenSolaris then jumped to 108, at 
least in
the pkg-based distribution.  I guess  the changes in the include files
(e g sys/socketvar.h has some new #defines), that could be used for 
testing/configuring.

I still have build 105 around and running, and that was the last OS 
version the old
code worked ok for me.
