#3 Solaris support

[Gary Gendel]

After applying the patches from Flemming Madsen, I was
able to use UPS with Sun's C compiler (Version 7).
However, UPS crashes with a C++ program when I try to
display a variable. If I type a method at the command
line, I get that source displayed, but I can't set a
breakpoint. I have similar problems when I use GCC, so
it seems to be specific to Sparc or Solaris.

A subsequent patch from Flemming solves this problem. It
isn't a complete solution as there are still a slew of error
messages, but Ups seems to operate correctly anyway. I've
left this as open in the hope that a complete fix will be
available.

I've attached Flemming's posting:

I have had some success with simply disabling Ups's sanity
checks
Apparantly it can perfectly well survive a couple of
