I have fixed a few relatively minor bugs in the shell:  the `value' of
a command is supposed to be the status returned by wait(2) plus octal 200 if
the command terminates abnormally--it was not--it is now; the shell built-in
`wait' was not always returning the correct exit status--it does now.

Sh(1) now uses the directory(3) scanning library routines when it reads a
directory to do filename expansion.  This provides a modest performance
improvement, but more importantly, enhances portability.
