Once can, of course, run Solaris 10 in a guest domain or a Solaris
zone, and keep 32-bit applications.

Won't the zone have the same Solaris 11 kernel, thus the same
limitations of said kernel?

I was told that Solaris 11 does not support 32-bit applications. I am curious as to whether this is possibly a mistaken impression, and perhaps also why this is the case.

The intent is to port all 32-bit apps to 64-bit, but my concern is one of timing/dependencies in migrating to Solaris 11.

Thanks, everyone. I've implemented/led 64-bit ports on Linux for the sake of increased virtual address space, and we left some programs as 32-bit because address space was not a consideration for those applications. So, this claim seemed to have beena misconception -- or maybe I misunderstood the person to whom I was talking. I'm going to assume no FUD was intended.
The link that Bruce provided mentioned the "Year 2038" issue that plagues all applications using 32-bit time with 1/1/1970 as the beginning of the epoch. But how are Solaris users dealing with the "Year 2034" issue of suspension of Oracle support?That might be a new topic, so please excuse the digression.
