Comment(by drkirkby):

 Since this only appears so far to have happened on a Solaris machine with
 a T2+ processor, and the patch will slow down the code on every machine, I
 will create a patch which is only applied on Solaris and only on the sun4v
 architecture. There is reason to believe it will only affect this type of
 processor too - not all SPARC processors. (Apparently memset is
 implemented differently on that).

 I think that's a better solution than to apply it everywhere.

 Leave it with me. I'll do this.

 Dave
