kfs works fine for a bit and then fails with an "out of files" error.

It happens when the fid in a 9p message gets to a value greater than
32767. I think the "fid" field in struct File should be a 32-bit type
rather than a short int.

Would I be right in thinking that 9p originally had 16 bit fids? If
so, it suggests that no-one has used kfs in anger for a while.
