I'm holding down the department virtually by myself this week so I didn't have 
time to dig into it; I (incorrectly) assumed it was a -lucb problem because 
that's where a lot of Solaris pseudo-"brokenness" comes from (avoid -lucb 
unless you know exactly what you're doing...).  Someone else went digging 
further and found out that Solaris 2.[56] doesn't support the Unix98 spec's 
version of sendmsg().
