      I will give only Solaris 10 and Solaris 8 examples, though I know it happens on 9 as well. It doesn't seem to matter what hardware or what patch level of the OS - it just doesn't seem to want to run stably.

      Solaris 10:

      I had high hopes that the Zabbix 1.8.1 binaries would correct this but I was disappointed when it did not. As you can see, it can happen with stunning frequency (We have other Solaris 8 boxes that do this less frequently). I have tried this with binaries I've compiled myself and with the provided ones. Both have this problem.

      I have a work around now: A cron job that runs every minute and tries to re-launch it if it failed. This is not an ideal solution, but it's worked for us so far. We prefer a more stable binary.
