but fids can't be `dangling'.  they're allocated by one request or another (eg, Tattach, Tauth, Twalk),
and deallocated by Tclunk or Tremove.  they can't `dangle'.
if the client has allocated a fid, it is valid until it explicitly deallocates it.
if the client hasn't allocated a fid but uses it in a request,
it's a protocol error by the client (eg, `fid in use', or `unknown fid').

  Russ, can you also add something to the effect of "fids can be dangling"
  to the 9P manpages ? May be I'm being too picky, but I have a good reason --
  I've learned that in a pretty hard way.

Thanks,
Roman.
