Subject: How to define mode_t

In Minix 1.5.10 mode_t is used inconsistently.  In sys/types.h
it is defined as unsigned short whereas in the prototypes in
fcntl.h it is (implicitly) assumed to be both int and unsigned int.
This causes, among other things, the compiler to choke on estdio.
It is of course easy to fix once I find out what mode_t should
_really_ be.  Anyone knows?
