Thanks for providing that.
I think the problem is that getcwd is failing to
find an entry in / with dev/ino matching a component (home)
of your working directory:
(see the fstatat call and subsequent dev/ino comparison in getcwd.c.
This may be due to dev/ino assignment on a mount point like /home.)

However, bear in mind that this is Solaris 9.
IMHO, it's not very important these days.
