Description (last modified by )
VBoxZoneAccess fails repeatedly on 32 bit Solaris 10 u6, with no error message. This is due to the sleep(1000000000U) call returning immediately.
sleep(unsigned) on 32 bit Solaris suffers from a Year 2038 problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem); if the requested sleep duration plus the current timestamp > 231, sleep returns immediately.
Consider using a shorter sleep duration for 32 bit platforms.
