I saw this once too and found there is a bug open on it (7067691).  I 
think the issue is that the Loggers are being GC'ed with the result that 
getLogger returns null causing the failure you observed. It's not 
Solaris specific but rather it's just that the loggers were GC'ed at the 
wrong time. It's possible that some of the other logging tests need to 
be fixed for the same issue.
