Yes, I think I'm going to bypass that one.  I'll see where it is
relevant, and eliminate all instances of it.  Without embarrassing
myself, I can point out that it is used in a module providing I/O
via Unix sockets, which is really not a Plan 9 favourite :-)

The entire I/O module will probably be streamlined to use exclusively
Plan 9 facilities.  I think a whole lot of problems will go away
as a result.  I was hoping to avoid this, but I'm not sure why one
should, Plan 9 is just superior, why battle with old fashioned
operations if one does not have to?
