Re: manyfiles test fails on Solaris

[Paul Eggert]

That's a known problem with Solaris.  See 'Solaris Problem #2' in
README_d/README.solaris.

There is a workaround in that file, but surely it is better to fix the
problem for all uses of gawk on Solaris, as opposed to just fixing it
for that test.  I see that there's a hook in the code to do just that,
but it uses the wrong macro name.  Here's a patch.

2001-09-07  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * io.c (redirect): When deciding to use the fdopen bug hack,
        use "__sun" rather than "solaris".  No compilers predefine
        "solaris", but both GCC and Sun C predefine "__sun".
