Yeah, just after posting this I stumbled onto the correct search terms
in Google and found [1,2] which go in to more detail.

It looks like this has been a problem since 2001, so I'm a bit
confused as to why there hasn't been a 0.77 release or something (it
would also be nice to have the AIX 5.3 patch included).

Until that happens I find encap [3] is a good way to deal with DJB's
distribution policies. An encap profile with the patches I use is here
[4].

I need to go test to make sure that the "</dev/null" syntax doesn't
break non-Solaris platforms now...
