It works for me with the 3.7.2.0 client on Solaris (see following).  I tried
it with two different server versions too (3.7.0 and 3.7.4), and I haven't
even thought about using a domain statement.  Maybe you have /tmp excluded
in a client option set on the server?  If not, then there is a difference in
behaviour between Solaris and AIX.
