But, you couldn't use it even if you had it. Forget erik quanstrom's
patchworks--he may be high on IQ, but he certainly is rather low on EQ.
Wait for the next ISO release and hope for the best. Useful, stable
patches--and hopefully the one that fixes this problem--will have found
their way into binaries by then.

Set up another Plan 9 and compile on it?! Or cross-compile if GCC has a
"POSIX-free" target?! Use some Vita Nuova secret weapon?! Not worth it,
definitely.

Dream on. This mailing list already hosts a more-than-20-post-long thread
on how to kill rio when you are stuck. Not one soul has yet admitted
something simply needs to be fixed. All they do is CE-ly sidestepping this
non-CE-bread-and-butter guy's sane non-CE question. If you feed on
something other than thermal paste you need to find yourself a better
platform... or you could start taking up thermal paste as a side dish.

Sure not. I can't even (financially) afford a trip to the nearest
town--Greece is way out of the little volume of phase space this poor Gibbs
ensemble can sweep in any short time period from now ;-) Nonetheless,
vicarial pleasure is always an option: you go there, enjoy your trip, tell
9fans about it, I'll be reading the chronicles...

Either... one created from a later compile downloadable from Bell Labs or
any of the mirrors--for example, the one at kix.in which is continually
updated. I recently had the opportunity to download it. The install/live
image I first tried on VPC anteceded this one. Unfortunately, the new one
didn't contain (or pretend to contain) a fix for this specific problem but
I'm rather sure it contained at least _some_ critical patches in the
shipped binaries; or, the whole "release-a-new-image" process is cuckoo.
Although, the last update to sources is dated April 12, 2008.
Or... the next "edition." Some 5e if such thing is ever released.

I didn't get it after the first reading. Not even after the third reading
did it dawn on me. When it did I thought to myself, "the man must be a
pervert to think even mailing lists can be used to that end." But I admit
it was _totally_ shrewd.
