The glitch is that the person who did the fix isn't in one of
the Solaris groups. They were in the compiler group. Nobody
in the compiler group (that I know of) has used cr.opensolaris.org
before. From the web site it doesn't look hard to use, but
nobody has done it yet. I've updated the description of the
bug with a pointer to cr.opensolaris.org and a recommendation
that someone needs to post the webrev. At least so interested parties
can apply the diffs in their own source trees if they want to.
