Topic: SunOS 5.5.1_x86: libc patch

   WARNING:     This patch will cause Fortran 90 programs to Segmentation 
                Fault if they write to terminal or other line buffered
                device (bug 1260474).  This is caused as a side effect of 
                the fix for bug 1235867.  It can be worked around for
                programs that only output to terminal by redirecting or 
                piping output. For example --
                        program | cat
