problem running 0.8.2 on Solaris 2.6

[TK Soh]

I just downloaded and installed 0.8.2 on Solaris 2.6 (haven't tried
other Solaris versions), but ran into some error when try to create a
new repo. Any idea what went wrong?

    % bzr
    Bazaar-NG -- a free distributed version-control tool
    http://bazaar-ng.org/

    Basic commands:

      bzr init           makes this directory a versioned branch
      bzr branch         make a copy of another branch

      bzr add            make files or directories versioned
      bzr ignore         ignore a file or pattern
      bzr mv             move or rename a versioned file

      bzr status         summarize changes in working copy
      bzr diff           show detailed diffs

      bzr merge          pull in changes from another branch
      bzr commit         save some or all changes

      bzr log            show history of changes
      bzr check          validate storage

      bzr help init      more help on e.g. init command
      bzr help commands  list all commands
    % mkdir b1
    % cd b1
    % bzr init
