This "interrupted system call" error is odd and is likely being output by one of the commands being called by Makeself, need to figure out which and why.

Run the archive through `bash -x` to get a trace of the commands being called, this should tell you the likely culprit.

Mmh I wonder if cat is getting that error, though it could just be your shell if it doesn't happen with bash.

You said it only happens while on a shared volume though? I bet it's got something to do with the filesystem somehow. What kind of filesystem is in use here...

Yeah I highly suspect this `prl_fs` is to blame - if it's a custom kernel extension it could raise these kinds of issues, and maybe `sh` is more sensible to...

If we never really had it working properly on Busybox, I'd be OK with keeping the increased POSIX compatibility instead as it is more important. Also this is mostly for...

I'd be surprised if it broke extraction rather than just the creation of archives? Can you confirm? Solaris support is a must for me.

Was the archive also created on the Solaris system?

Mmmh I wonder if some of the other formats might be more compatible, such as ustar, cpio or shar

The goal is to have Makeself produce archives that are as cross-platform as possible. So if POSIX doesn't achieve that goal, we might need to investigate what works better in...
