Comment(by drkirkby):
It's 1150 pm here in the UK, so I am going to bed soon.
But since making a binary takes ages on my Sun Blade 1000, I'll apply the
patch now and see what I have in the morning. I'll comment then.
This is great news if you have fixed this. It's a real pain this issue.
The only "solution" I found before was to use the GNU version of 'cp'.
That was a pain, as GNU 'cp' is not included as part of Solaris (unlike
GNU make, GNU tar, gcc etc). So one has to build GNU coreutils just to get
a version of 'cp' that would work.
