Excerpt of http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qtest.html#QCOMPARE:
QCOMPARE is very strict on the data types. Both actual and expected have 
to be of the same type, otherwise the test won't compile. This 
prohibits unspecified behavior from being introduced; that is behavior 
that usually occurs when the compiler implicitly casts the argument.

Apparently, the Sun Studio compiler is stricter than gcc and does not 
cast TestJob* to KJob*, but regards them as different (which they are).

Changing
QCOMPARE( processed_spy.at( 0 ).at( 0 ).value<KJob*>(), job );
to
QCOMPARE( processed_spy.at( 0 ).at( 0 ).value<KJob*>(), 
static_cast<KJob*>( job ) );
should help.

Ingo
