I dunno. I'm generally opposed to multiplication of new fcntls or ioctls, but API compat does have some value... does anyone actually use that API? (and I don't suppose we can think of a clever way to stuff the compat fcntls into libcompat or some such place so they don't bloat out the core system...) -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
