That is true, and I'm just working on bringing Mike's Solaris changes forward now. I hadn't considered that it would result in a difference in Mac too. I'll get this work completed and see where it stands first.

It has been suggested to me (at least twice at this stage) that these files should be merged since they're identical. This requires an adjustment in perspective from "every platform should have its own implementation" to "those platforms that differ from the norm should have their own implementation". Given that the latter approach simplifies things currently I believe it is the more sensible.
