Thanks for revisiting this old suggestion. Along the line of Andreas'

+On Solaris, don't put @code{/usr/ucb} early in your PATH. This
+directory contains several dysfunctional programs; working variants
+of these programs are available in @code{/usr/bin}. So, if you need
address@hidden/usr/ucb} in your PATH, put it @emph{after} @code{/usr/bin}.
