Check for a read or write with nbytes = 0. I'm about to commit
a fix for this. This is the problem referred to on HighWind's
download page (http://www.highwind.com/).

There is also a big commit coming that will make the file descriptor
lock tracking optional at libc_r compile time. This change also adds
optional lock tracking to the spinlocks. The commit will include
Alpha bits too.
