Interesting incompatibility between Solaris 10 and Solaris 11

Hi folks,

I just received a bug report about CSWrcs not working on Solaris 11:
  https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=5159

The problem is immediately reproducable. What makes it interesting is when I compile
specifically on Solaris 11 it works. From my understanding every binary from Solaris 10
which adheres to the published API should work OOTB on Solaris 11 and almost every time
I looked it does so.

The stack of the corefile looks like this:

unstable11s% pstack core
core 'core' of 11856:   ./rcs ci ci
 ff2de060 memcpy%sun4v-hwcap2 (5d460, 4b324, 5ce67, 23518, 0, 8bb40) + df4
 0002e514 ???????? (ffbffc01, 0, ffbffc01, 2, 49be4, 2)
 0002e9d8 pairnames (1, ffbffb0c, 2c2f8, 0, 0, 2) + 3b8
 0001a86c ???????? (ffbffbfe, 2, ffbffb08, 2f, ff0000, 2f000000)
 000224e4 ???????? (ffbffa90, 1a058, ffbffbfe, 2, ffbffb08, 46d45)
 00022b44 main     (3, ffbffb04, ffbffb14, 5c800, 1a058, ffbffbfe) + 204
 000153f0 _start   (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 108

I haven't investigated further, but just wanted to let you know about this strange issue.


Best regards
