It happens because redis-server you are trying to test against dies 
with a segmentation fault on startup on sparc. I see the following in 
the redis-server.log:

[3491] 03 Nov 19:37:36 # ======= Ooops! Redis 2.2.12 got signal: -10- =======
[3491] 03 Nov 19:37:36 # ======= Ooops! Redis 2.2.12 got signal: -11- =======

and in dmesg:

[ 1826.573524] redis-server[3491]: segfault at 24 ip 000000000001cc70 (rpc 000000000001cc54) sp 00000000ffe7e6d8 error 30001 in redis-server[10000+36000]
