Solaris is a little bit tricky, i would be very careful talking about it.
I've tried opensolaris and it is not posix by default, many calls behave in a 
non-posix way because they were introduced in solaris before they were 
introduced in posix, so they have different parameters or semantic.

To have posix in solaris, one must use a bunch of flags at compile-time, for 
example: -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -lsocket -lnsl
After having enabled the posix compatibility, it works as expected on posix 
with ipv6only=0.

The bug is bsd-only.
