Semen Ustimenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ran into a similar problem, but his
fix was to teach sendfile() to pass in a non-NULL resid and handle the
failure mode better.  I suspect this fix is more correct since it will
both handle the failure mode and the data delivered, and probably is
required for other consumers of vn_rdwr().  He was going to run the patch
past dg, and then commit it assuming dg approved it, so hopefully it will
go into the tree in the next day or so.
