Hi,
as you may remember I had a problem with almost all the higher
numbered test cases of the testsuite failing on Solaris 9. Well,
I�think I found out what caused the problem. Seems like the basic
Solaris grep won't cope with alternatives, '|', unless explicitly told
to except them. Here is my proposal for a patch:

Yes, that's all one 'E' makes the difference between over one hundred
test cases failing or succeeding.
Please, tell me if I can help in any other way.
Bye,
