Sorry; Kirk McKusick told me that as well. I was put off on the wrong track by some tags. Kirk says that the port was done by John and himself. In any case, it still shows the marks of being a quick hack, which is what I wanted to address. Sorry for any inconvenience. Actually, I'd really like to hear your comments on the rest of the RFD, especially now that I know that you are at odds with the current implementation as well.
