Hi Nick,

   Rainer and I just compared notes, and we're happy with it.
These little breakages have been a chronic pain in the neck
for us, and it's going to be really helpful for us once we
pull in this patch. Thanks for all the work you put in to help
us with this.

For the record, I don't believe that Solaris ever sets
p_paddr, or looks at it, so the fix for this could probably
be as simple as "if (solaris) phdr->p_paddr = 0". On the
other hand, it's purely cosmetic. The values you're writing
there seem to correspond to something sensible (same as
p_vaddr), and there's really no reason to put any extra
work into it. Leave it alone.

Thanks again...

- Ali
