Thanks for your replies. The solution is very simple: from Solaris 2.5.1
there is a new thread model, and only this model is supported in Java. So
you cannot have "native" threads on 2.5, only "green" threads. Some
releases of JRE, however, come with only native thread support.

It is my experience that the "Reference Implementation" used to work.
