I mentioned in an earlier posting (I think) that Nethack already has
an obscure option, "nonull", to get rid of the null padding bug under
systems like Minix. I also had to change some files for Minix,
particularly those involving ioctl() calls. Doe estdio under PC Minix
provide a more useful ioctl() function than the standard Minix
distribution? I am using ST Minix, which does not have estdio.
