 This is great! It works here on both Solaris 11.1 and Solaris 10 update 8!
 If it also works on other platforms this would be the best solution of
 this issue IMHO.
 Thanks for providing it! BTW: Are you able to provide this patch as a Git
 patch and attach to this ticket? If not, I may do this for you...
