Hi,

upas/fs fails when using an mbox serviced
by a server using lib9. I think the problem is that we can
no longer use a

	dirstat
	change name
	dirwstat

sequence to rename a file.

The fix(?) is simply to change sysrename in common/libsys.c to use
nulldir istead of dirstat.

What worries me is that there may be others that use the above
sequence to change a single attribute of a file.

hth

and they need to be fixed.  we made a conscious
decision to clean this up, way back when we designed 9p2000.
