I posted this previously, but since there is a discussion
about it, I will do it again.

I haven't heard of any problems with this patch (yet)!

The following is a patch to src/fs/link.c (1.5.10), that allows
sticky directories.

The definition of ALL_MODES in /usr/include/minix/const.h
should be changed from 06777 to 07777 also.

Sticky directories aren't really necessary for a single-user
system, but sometimes they're a nice feature (as in /tmp).
