Well, I shall endeavor to try this again by the end of the week and
see if I can nail anything down. Knowing it should work is something.
I'm migrating from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 at the same time, but not

RRDTool version difference at the same time or something? I'd assume
both of them are 64-bit, as both Solaris definitely are.
