I wanted a new thread for this.
Personally I think that I should submit a patch to the GNU patch people
but I have tried that in the past with the GNU Grub ( rev 2 ) people and
was flatly ignored.
Regardless there is probably an easy way to fix GNU patch so that it just
works as expected on all platforms everywhere and the patch would not be a
whole lot of work. The real work seems to be to submit a patch and have it
accepted by certain open source groups.
Then we package it up for Solaris users and move onto the next battle.
