This sounds similar to my problems on sparcs. (I had non-deterministic

I think, threaded/parallel programs can then run under ghci, but Simon

our ghc-6.4.1 under solaris uses libm.so.1, too. (So it should not be a

I think also ghc-6.2.2 was a good version under solaris using
libreadline.so.4 and gcc-2.95.x!
