There is no platform-specific skipping, or diffing. (in the test harness)
I just want to say that the lack of diffing is somewhat by design. Almost always, a difference in behavior on one platform (out of at least 5 that are tested on a semi-regular basis) almost always indicates a JVM bug, and should be addressed by the JVM vendor.
I admit, though, it would be nice to have a way to skip tests by os.name with a property, something along the lines of skipifos.name=SunOS, for situations like this.
