There is no longer opensolaris there. Migrated to FreeBSD in 2011 and 
rarely regret about this ;)

About current problem - Andrzej identified the reason - zlib update. 
Need advices on fixing this.

If we roll back zlib update, we need some ugly hack to update existing 
installations.
The other idea is to identify incompatible changes and isolate them with 
symbol versioning. I have no idea if it is possible and how hard it is.
