This does not appear to be true...
Solaris has been certified for POSIX compliance.
It appears that the certification does not include a test whether the
POSIX support is usable in production environments.
Where is your problem?
I explained this in another mail. Our statistics show that lots of
customers do not have SUNWxcu4 installed. The system scripts do not
require this package and customers tend to remove unused packages from
their systems.
