Holy guana Batman!

Just for a wild guess, I'ld say that setting the sysname is screwing over your
namespace.  The only place that I see the namespace changed after init starts is
the newns() in its main().  /lib/namespace includes at its end:

. /lib/namespace.local
. /lib/namespace.$sysname

Could it be that you have a /lib/namespace.blah that is blowing things
away?

If I set 'sysname=blah' in plan9.ini for a term, init just loops
complaining that it can't execute /bin/rc .  Commenting out or
removing the sysname=blah fixes the problem.  The same
thing is not a problem for cpus.
