Just like with Kevin I think the first thing to do is be 100% sure that
it is the client or the server failing.  Try coping the file to the
server and doing a commit with :local: if that fails it'll be easier to
debug too.

All the memory map stuff is new in 1.12 I think - you could try going
back to 1.11...

If it is the server that is the problem then there are probably quite a
lot of solaris parameters that could affect it - particularly if the
memory maps in 1.12 are using shared memory.  I'm no Solaris expert and
AFAICT Solaris 11 is not even a released product.
