 I've manually patched kern_exec.c (rev 1.69 introduced a <pioctl.h>
include and a STOPEVENT() call, make depend wasn't so happy with those)
and now I'm awaiting... hoping it won't panic anymore :)

 BTW, I can't find PR#5313 (GNATS didn't find it, or I'm not using the
right query params) that "bde" made reference to in r1.70 CVS log; any
kind soul care to help me finding it ?
