I presume it's happening on Solaris? :(

Did it happen always, or it started happening after certain version of
SAVI? If I am not mistaken, Sophos did change compiler (or something
else?) at certain point of time, for Solaris releases.

There has been some input, before, in relation to some thread (un)safe
functions, and those have been already fixed (and seems like fixes worked,
at least for some cases).

I, honestly, have no idea where else to look, without something more
specific :(
