This is for using different instances of sam... Is not for your
"general use". I've explained this before. Anyway, this add the
posibility of changing the label, it not forces you to do it. If
you don't use the -l option, don't define samriosnarf and you are
unaware of the 'l' command, sam will behave exactly the same, you
will not notice, that's something I really like of this patch.

I really don't know what on earth are you talking about. Sam's
snarf buffer is an internal buffer (defined in sam/mesg.c), it
isn't presented in a file system. But even if that were the case,
it will not work if samter and sam were in different machines.
