No, it's a BSD problem. UNIX != BSD.

(UNIX != System V, for that matter, or even Xenix)

UNIX is a programmer interface (the system calls common to SIII and V7 would
make a good working definition of that) and a design philosophy (a minimal set
of systems calls aided by an "everything is a stream-file" paradigm).
