Hello.

Stevens and manpage say:
    struct iovec {
    	    void	*iov_base;	/* Base address. */
    	    size_t	 iov_len;	/* Length. */
    };

but /usr/include/sys/uio.h says:
    struct iovec {
    	    char	*iov_base;	/* Base address. */
    	    size_t	 iov_len;	/* Length. */
    };

I am running 2.2-ALPHA (updating to BETA this weekend), but
this is still in current. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks.
