no, it is not related to that bug. Because I use OI with fixed this for
1 month already. I did not find the root cause for admin tools problem
yet, mainly because I did not pay attention to it too much. But I see
users are missing it, I will look at it.

Anyway, many regressions were fixed in the last JDS build (on
http://pkg.opensolaris.cz/osol/) but I am not the one who has power to
include it to OI or hipster releases.
