  Modified:    lib/libc_r/uthread  uthread_fd.c
  Log:
  Make error checking less zealous to handle devices like /dev/null
  which don't provide a non-blocking interface.
  
  This is a short term "fix" which changes a half-lose to a half-win.
  The thread that accesses a device that does not provide a non-blocking
  interface will block for its time slice.
  
  A medium term solution would be to use rfork. A long-term solution
  would be some sort of kernel thread/SMP implementation.
