I'll give you the point, Doug, but his point remains valid.  On Microport V/AT,
what he wrote causes a kernel panic.  That doesn't seem to be reasonable
behavior for an OS/library routine/whatever.

(P.S.: Your group suggestion was correct, but I would have limited it to
       comp.unix.microport myself.  I'm not limiting my reply in deference
       to the original posting.)
