I would re-phrase that as; gnat/gcc 3.3.2 is using a non-portable way 
between Solaris releases of keeping track on threads in its run-time 
environment.
I don't think Sun intended it to be used as it is used right now.
It apparently cuts down the overhead during run-time, but to the cost of 
being non-portable.

I believe the Solaris 8 CD's are still downloadable from sun.com if you 
have a good link and a cd-writer.

There are news, but not related to this news group. Check out 
comp.unix.solaris and the developer part of sun.com
