Yes, it is indeed very central and that is the reason why the
old code caused so much trouble for a long, long time. It
fixes a nasty limitation on an important platform. Certain
SAPI modules like NSAPI, AOLserver, Apache 2 and thttpd are
severely affected by this issue - they are basically useless
on Solaris.
The patch has been extensively tested -- I have so much faith
in it, that is already running at a customer's site on
several Solaris installations.
If you want more exposure for the patch, I suggest rolling
another RC and using our far reaching announce mailing list
for generating feedback regarding the RC's quality for once.
