That's a good fix - the other workaround I'd suggest at the 
moment (which is an even less proper fix) is to comment out the 
affected method in kstartupinfo.sip (at the end of the file).

It looks like I tried to re-use some handwritten code for the 
template on the cheap (since pid_t is typedef'd from int).  I'll 
implement it explicitly for pid_t in the next release (alpha7). 
I'd appreciate if you (or another Solaris user) could test that, 
as I can't reproduce the error under Linux.

Thanks
