Nice to hear!

I struggled like a mad man to make my Solaris 7 tests work as nice, until I
realized that fork() + exec() in perl is not always doing what fork() + exec()
does in plain system calls. It turns out that on some platforms' exec() itself
starts another process in this case...! The test script is now adjusted to
deal with this...

I'm still seeing lots of failures on my solaris tests, and I'll continue to
work on the test suite.

I'm also in the process of working out a deal that will allow me to soon run
autobuilds on a bunch of new platforms that currently aren't covered.
