 This may have been before I realized you had to cc: freebsd-gnats-submit to
 get stuff into the PR database.  There was more correspondence.
 Unfortunately, the hard drive containing particular mail archive died [with
 the rest of /home :-(] shortly after I replaced my motherboard (the old one
 wouldn't boot from the hard-drive, the reason for using floppies so much), so

 If you could not reproduce it, it probably really was fixed.  I suppose one
 way to really check would be to mount a floppy (ufs formatted), write to it/
 sync/eject it (do not unmount it yet), put a few pinholes through the section
 where the meta-data sits, and put it back in.  Now try to unmount it.

 Real Programs don't use shared text.  Otherwise, how can they use
 functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
