test/dtrace fails on Solaris 10 as follows.

Ruby (64-bit) compiled by using Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 cc with "-xO3" optimization:

$ SUDO=sudo ruby test/runner.rb test/dtrace
Run options:

# Running tests:

  1) Failure:

It seems that the failure is due to overflowing of dtrace's trace buffer.
On Solaris, the default buffer size is 4MB.
The failure does not happen when increasing the buffer size to 8MB (calling dtrace with "-b 8m" option)
