Hi!

Today I noticed that on Single Unix Specification V2,
as well as on the Linux 2.4.26 machine I have here,
that the open() call promises to return the lowest
unused file descriptor.

I'm just wondering: does FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x promise
that? If so, I think we should update the manpage
to match SUSv2 more closely.

Thank you!

- Carl
