There are several places in the JDK source that need modification
with regard to our 64 bit off_t.  The places in
src/solaris/java/{runtime,green_threads} are obvious.  There's also
a native method in the share directory which was patched to pass
JCK conformance testing but it was patched in a bogus failure mode
under Solaris and is also unnecessary under FreeBSD since we already
have 64 bit offsets.  I have that code #ifdef SOLARIS out.  (Sun
doesn't like #ifdefs but I do it that way so I have the same code
which is buildable under Solaris and FreeBSD.)  If you can, try to
get the JCK tests somewhere (may be hard without paying Javasoft money)
and run it.
