The current beahviour of crash and the proposed behaviour to follow 
glibc and *BSD are both perfectly compliant with the standard.  The 
standard doesn't define what happens so either is acceptable.

It isn't the developers we are punishing by not implementing this case, 
many of them don't are anyway, but we are hurting adoption of 
OpenSolaris and making it difficult to impossible to run some critical 
applications.
