Here is what I found out:

-q is not supported by the standard Solaris implementation found in 
/usr/bin, but by the X/Open compatible version in /usr/xpg4/bin. 
(Probably for backward-compatibility reasons.)  You will have to have 
the latter path in $PATH before the former in order to get the -q option 
to work.
