Solaris IS supported as a "best effort" platform. however, it does not
reproduce, at least on sparc platform.

But reducing the loop from 10000.times to 5000.times allows the test to pass, so for practical use of ruby 1.9.2 on Solaris 10 x86, this is good enough as no program should be pushing the number of threads in this way.
