#9 is a clumsy hack that I brought over from more full-featured ports.
It means "the $PLAN9 directory" to open and Bopen. It was a mistake
(it's too hard to contain, and it makes ported programs different from
normal programs; same mistake as handling dotdot specially in some
programs but not others). I'm going to rid the tree of these references.
But it should be working right now.
