 Back in 2005, in 8753e7ef6530c14a6d35c477a11ff203008bde50 (svn:r4383), we
 disabled threading on Solaris, in order to prevent some lockup bug or
 other.  Unfortunately, back in 2005 we weren't so good at tracking bugs,
 so I can't easily find who reported it or how we diagnosed it.

 But this is eight years later.  If there was really a platform bug, surely
 it's gotten better by now?

 We could contact one of the two or three operators whose nodes report
 being "on SunOS", and ask them if their nodes still work after an explicit
 --enable-threads , I guess.
