That was quick.  Really, I can't thank you enough for this..  This makes my
life considerably easier. :)

It seems kind of dangerous having these things hard coded--should the linux
compatibility code be fixed?  I notice that there is a

    #define DIRBLKSIZ 512    /* XXX we used to use ufs's DIRBLKSIZ */

at sys/compat/linux/linux_file.c:425.  It is not clear to me what this
should be though.

Anyways, thanks again,

Chris
