1. Should we disable Solaris using Unix Domain Sockets in the regression test?

   Hi all,
   
   Did anyone ever figure out why Solaris boxes had those random failures
   during the regression tests?
   
   If no, then should we ensure the regression test on Solaris run's over
   TCP instead (like BeOS and QNX do)?  To do this is a one-line fix in the
   shell script.
   
   Regards and best wishes,

   It should be better now that listen() is being called with a larger
   number.  The basic problem is that Solaris actually honors the
   listen() backlog argument, and if more than that many Unix socket
   clients attempt to connect simultaneously, some are rejected
   immediately.
