compiling neon-0.28.2 - status and status_chunked fail

[Poor Yorick]

Installing neon-0.28.2 on Solaris 9 with gcc 4.2.2 and gnu ld:

    83. status................ FAIL (status events: result was 'lookup(localhost)-connecting(localhost,::1)-connecting(localhost,127.0.0.1)-connected(localhost)-send(0,5000)-send(5000,5000)-recv(0,5)-recv(5,5)-disconnected(localhost)-' not 'lookup(localhost)-connecting(localhost,127.0.0.1)-connected(localhost)-send(0,5000)-send(5000,5000)-recv(0,5)-recv(5,5)-disconnected(localhost)-')
    84. status_chunked........ FAIL (status events: result was 'lookup(localhost)-connecting(localhost,::1)-connecting(localhost,127.0.0.1)-connected(localhost)-send(0,5000)-send(5000,5000)-recv(0,-1)-recv(1,-1)-recv(2,-1)-recv(3,-1)-recv(4,-1)-recv(5,-1)-disconnected(localhost)-' not 'lookup(localhost)-connecting(localhost,127.0.0.1)-connected(localhost)-send(0,5000)-send(5000,5000)-recv(0,-1)-recv(1,-1)-recv(2,-1)-recv(3,-1)-recv(4,-1)-recv(5,-1)-disconnected(localhost)-')
    85. local_addr............ pass
    <- summary for `request': of 86 tests run: 84 passed, 2 failed. 97.7%

Anyone have any ideas why these tests might be failing?
