The whitespace patch looks great.

For the NSFBUFS one, two comments.  First, it may be better to use 'may'
instead of 'will' in the <important> section: if there are enough sf_buf
structures, the sendfile(2) call will not block at all.  Second, since
you are rewriting the whole paragraph above (the one actually explaining
what NSFBUFS is all about), it will be perfectly acceptable to introduce
a whitespace change (or fix) there: change the leading spaces to tabs in
all but the first line :)

Good work!

G'luck,
Peter

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
