Several tests fails on Solaris 10 (but correctly work on Solaris 11). Needs further investigation.

Solaris 10 was released in 2005, and Solaris 11 in 2011.

Though Solaris 10 still has extended support from Oracle until 2027 (according to an announcement made by Oracle in October 2023), I'm unsure INN is still used on that system. Nobody has mentioned INN issues on Solaris for more than a decade. Let's assume people no longer use Solaris 10 to run INN, and close that ticket. No need spending time investigating these issues.

For the record, these errors do not happen on Solaris 11 (tested on 11.3 and 11.4). At the time of writing this message, Solaris 11.4 is announced to be supported by Oracle until 2037.
