There are actually on 48.  10 are there for backward compatibilit.

/sys/src/libc/9syscall/sys.h

Not much that wasn't there 3rd edition.  I'm looking at adding a passfd
thought my first attempt wasn't pretty.  Actually passfd was easy but
making it work across systems was a bit strained.  I'm working on that.

Wow; I haven't laughed _that_ hard in a *long* time.  I especially like
the last few paragraphs, and the part about him flunking his high-school
english class.

In terms of a technical reaction, the first thing that strikes me is:  We
have 51 system calls now?  Wow; we've porked up.  How many of those are for
compatability with the 3rd Edition?
