mothra's save function seems to go into a loop,
generating write(..., ..., 0) .
certainly it seems to be responsible for the Twrite(count=0)
requests i'm seeing on the ethernet, and the code

save+#113?      CALL	read(SB)
save+#118?      MOVL	AX,CX
save+#11a?      CMPL	AX,$#0
save+#11d?      JLT	save+#13c(SB)
save+#11f?      MOVL	ofd+#1014(SP),AX
save+#126?      MOVL	AX,#0(SP)
save+#129?      LEA	buf+#c(SP),AX
save+#12d?      MOVL	AX,#4(SP)
save+#131?      MOVL	CX,#8(SP)
save+#135?      CALL	write(SB)

looks like
	while((n=read(fd1, buf, sizeof(buf)))>=0)
		write(fd2, ..., n);
to me.

perhaps this is an appropriate time to beg for a boddle of the mothra
changes, so i can reconstruct the source, and libpanel updates, if any?
