Thanks for pointing this out. I looked at it again and the issue is that 
isspace is a macro and depends on the locale. By not including ctype.h 
then it means we get linked to the libc function instead. One approach 
is to include ctype.h and then #undef isspace, another is to define 
function prototype ourselves. I think the latter is a little bit better 
because it would avoid accidental usage of other local sensitive char 
classifiers. Attached is the patch that I propose. I have deliberate 
moved to to after other includes so we get a chance to #undef in the 
event that it gets included by something else.

On tests then PremainClassTest.java is good enough to find this on Solaris.
