Have you tried compiling a simple program with  -debug true  on the 
sparc-solaris9 machine and running the resulting executable on the 
sparc-solaris10 machine?  The debug runtime includes a lot of asserts 
which might point to a machine characteristic that changed.

I don't know; we haven't had any other Solaris 10 problems reported, but 
I'm afraid I don't know of a local Solaris 10 box around to try things on.
