Solaris is derived from Sys V, and the source is readily available to
educational institutions. It could be a help... (though I warn you, they
kernel in particular has a changed a LOT from stock Sys V)
Remember that vanilla sys V source is still nominally under NDA for whoever
has it, so I wouldn't bet on getting it...
