Subject: Solaris Port Users?

I recently grabbed Dan Bidwell's Solaris 2.3 port of Postgres 4.1 and
tried to use it and found that it hangs in the regression test in
numerous places and core dumps in others.

For example, it spins its wheels endlessly on the "vacuum" call and on
several of the retrieves (e.g. "retrieve (stud_emp.all)" and "retrieve (temp.all)").

Has anyone tried to use this port? How are they faring?

Are there specific kernel modifications that you have found are necessary.
I tried to increase limits for semaphores, semaphore IDs, max shared memory and so on
as per the SunOS instructions but this doesn't seem to help.
