[9fans] idefs patch

[unknown]

There seems to be some problem with plan9.escet.urjc.es.
Sadly enough, I'll be out of town until end of Aug. and
I just can't connect. Nobody else in the building can 
fix the problem before I return, sic.

If you need the patch and nobody else can send it to you,
I could try to place it somewhere else.

Sorry.

if you get it to work drop me a line.  for some strange
reason i can't build a working idefs any more without having
it trash the free list during operation.

what's stupid is that now that i sit here typing this i realize
that i had not factored all the variables.  maybe my _build_
environment is bad.  ugh.

Hadn't Nemo put some effort into merging the IDE patches into the current
file server code?  I thought, for a time, that he was going to become the
keeper of the idefs code....  I'm not questioning your doing it Eric, of
course, but I'd hate to see a lot of duplication of effort.

so far so good. it compiled fine and boots fine. i am fighting
hardware issues now. hope to have that resolved today.

the 'scorched earth' method.
