PR_GetThreadID() is a deprecated function because its return type
PRUint32 is too small to hold a native thread ID on some platforms
(if pthread_t is 64-bit).

But that means the problem should be a truncation of the native
thread ID, not a crash due to SEGV.

Since I don't have access to Solaris, I don't know what the problem
is.  I inspected the source code and didn't see anything wrong or
Solaris-specific.
