Attached.

For 119, the code in the Solaris find command that prints the
"find: cannot read dir sub/unwritable" message was modified last year
to make it not print that message if -prune was in effect for the directory,
so it's possible a bug in find was introduced by those changes.

For 261, Solaris gained a /dev/full device in Solaris 11.4.51.
Since the only purpose of this device is to return ENOSPC, I would
hope that it's fully compatible with the implementations on other OS'es,
but I don't know of any testing done to confirm that.
