Brazil added RFREND to for the rendezvous space.  I needed it so the
the implementation of nonblocking I/O (needed for X11) in libap
would work ok in the presence of children forking.  Since most of
the application code in Brazil is the same as in Plan 9, we'd been
maintaining stuff on Brazil and copying it back to Plan 9.  You found
a place where we weren't careful enough about removing
Brazil-specific stuff.
