Re-read what I wrote.  We don't make a lot of noise about ABI/API
compatibility going backwards, which is what I'm talking about.  You
can't always take a binary compiled on Solaris 10 and stick it on a box
running Solaris 2.5.1 and expect it to work no matter how many stable
interfaces from Solaris 10 the binary is using...

In any case, this thread has already been resolved, and the proper
versioning checks will be implemented in mac_alloc().
