On Solaris 8 Sparc it works flawlessly

I threw a massive pile of options at it thus :

$ /opt/csw/bin/xterm +ah -b 4 -cr white -j -ls -ms white +mb -rw -aw
-s -sb +si -sk -sl 8192 +t -tn vt100 -vb -wf -T Solaris\ 8\ \:\ New\
XTerm -bw 4 -bg black -bd red -fg green -fn
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-m-150-iso8859-1

... and then scrolled up and down like mad and the Page_Up and Page_Dn
keys works perfectly for me.

I'll test Solaris 8 x86 now.
