Yesterday we discovered that a Solaris-only regression was
introduced in the NSPR 4.7.2 release.  Here is the bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461502

The bug was introduced by the patch to use the Solaris -Bdirect
linker flag in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451476.

We will release NSPR 4.7.3 to address this issue.  If your
product doesn't support Solaris, you can continue to use
NSPR 4.7.2.

The attached patch backs out the change that introduced the
regression.  You can apply the patch to the NSPR 4.7.2 source
code to fix the bug.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Wan-Teh Chang
