Yes, and I appreciate your collective efforts to get MPI working again  
on the Sun.  With the next reporting cycle the MPI tests on the Sun  
should be (mostly) all passing.  If tonight's normal test cycle still  
looks good for MPI, then I'd say move the changes into the branch.

Again, thanks for your efforts in getting this fixed.
