I just ran test_socket a bunch of times on our sun without problems.
I believe Martin von Loewis and Andrew Koenig also use a solaris box
fairly regularly.  (Hopefully Martin is reading this list and can
confirm.)

So the problem may be limited to the snake farm and a few other boxes.
This may also apply to the AIX problem, since I've found no one else
who has the same problems.  I've worked a fair amount on the AIX
problem.  I have spent no time as of yet on Solaris.  I'll try to
do some testing to see if I can find out more.
