Okay.  If it's fixed in the tip of 4.3, that's probably good enough (I
didn't realize 4.3.2 was that out of date), so if you can't track it down
easily, don't lose any sleep over it.

Most of the non-Sun software in Solaris gets bugfixed by upgrade, and
that's probably sufficient for this case (though I'm still hesitant to
upgrade to 4.3 given all the multibyte change that -- IIRC -- isn't
complete yet, even if any portion of the shell which was converted is
done).

Thanks,
