Is there a Solaris box currently available which Sage developers can
use for testing their code? At one point t2.math.washington.edu was in
use for this, but it seems to have been unavailable for some while.

I ask because of patch #10335, which had a positive review some while
back, but which turned out to cause an error on Solaris machines and
so had that revoked. I have prepared a patch, just removing an
unnecessary doctest which was failing because Gap on Solaris returns
an answer that is different from that returned on other platforms but
equally valid. But this has now been sitting on trac for ages, long
enough that the patch has begun to bit-rot; and requests for access to
a Solaris box to test the fix on have gone unanswered. This is
frustrating because there are something like six other trac tickets
with patches that are waiting on this one (two of them with positive
reviews, #11422 and #11598).

Regards, David Loeffler
