Hi Jonathan,

thanks for the preliminary analysis. I’ve noticed an error (in the
native BSD environment) which I believe to be related, if not the
same, but haven’t gotten around to debugging yet.
I’ll have to find a way to do this on systems without the *at()
syscalls, however. Since you already looked into this, perhaps
you have an idea for me ;)
Thanks,
