There were 20 test failures of mpfr due to a bug in the memset implementation on
Solaris 10 on sun4m machines (those based on the T1, T2, or T2+ processors).

http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/6453

The T2+ is used in the Sun T5240 at t2.math.washington.edu.

Sun have sent me a 'T' patch, which I have installed on t2.math.washington.edu.
This fixes the bug. This patch will soon be available on Sunsolve soon as
142542-01, though currently it is not generally available.
