Details:

Solaris 2.9 does not a second NULL argument:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/realpath.html

Attached patch fixes it by allocating a local buffer.

Also account for the possibility that /dev entries
are symlinked into /devices on Solaris:

    ls -lF `tty`
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          28 gru 19  2011 /dev/pts/8 ->
../../devices/pseudo/address@hidden:8
