I believe this is a solaris compiler bug -- we've seen it a couple of
times before. Search the matplotlib-users mailing list archives for
_XOPEN_SOURCE
at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=33405
I can't remember the answer, but I know there are a few posts on the
subject there...
