Sounds like issues with the recent amd64 optimization of strcpy that were discussed a few weeks ago in opensolaris-code, including CR 6914012. See the "amd64 & strcpy() on SXCE NV 129 vs. POSIX.1-2008" thread on http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-code/2009-December/thread.html and http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-code/2010-January/thread.html -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
