Be careful.  The "old versions" of the ioctl's, including oTCGETA and
oFIONREA are going to go away as soon as possible.  They would have
disappeared from 4.0, except for things I characterize as politics.  They
were intended only to bridge a little binary compatibility.  I seem to
recall defining oFIONREAD to be compatible with a previous release of UNIX
for the IRIS 3000/2000 series; it has been a while.
