Thank you for testing and reporting this. It is my fault of course,

but as I don't have access to a sparc for testing I just did what
I could. I am guessing here, but please apply the following to your
pgsql and let me know what happens. Also, cd to src/storage/buffer
and do 'make s_lock_test' as well.
