I've not seen or heard anyone report this kind of problem before, and I know
I've done that thing on Linux many times with no troubles. I think it might
suggest it being a Solaris specific problem. Have you tried the Solaris
threads API and seen if that produces the same problem?

I must admit I haven't played on a Solaris box in a while so I've not tried
this approach myself on any Solaris version.
