As I expected, this was a fun and very educational project to work on.  It forced me to really understand what was going in the kernel (and to really pay attention to what Lions was saying).  It also gave me a little view into what it was like to work on Unix back in the day.  Hopefully someone else will find my little self-education project useful as well.
