I verified this right after Harald posted his original bugreport against debian qemu-kvm package (*). No, opensolaris does NOT shows this bug. I even tried solaris install image -- sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso, but it works here as far as I can see. I performed only basic tests however, -- basically because I just don't remember how to _use_ solaris (it's been about 10 years ago), and can only do some telnet/ping/ftp.
