Yeah, I got redirected there by somebody else too; it seems I've
managed to spark lots of debate now at least.  Copying linux_close.c and
thereby working around the problem in the Java VM looks like it solves
my immediate problem, and could probably be integrated into the diablo
jdk too?  I've tried the C version of the test program and it behaves
"badly" on Linux, FreeBSD 6, and NetBSD at least, so patching over it
is probably the best medium-term solution.
