I see full debugging info present in George's report, which means that
he was using non-stripped binaries, i.e. he likely compiled himself,
because i've stripped the binaries which i've built on Solaris 8, and
they don't contain debugging info.

George, please clarify which binaries you were using - did you build
them yourself (and on which compiler)? are you getting the same problem
when using sparc-solaris binaries which i've committed a few days ago?

Best,
