What on earth are you talking about? Do you have some Mutant UNIX From
Hell that uses clists for raw disk I/O? I've *never* seen any such UNIX
system (and I've seen lots of UNIX systems - V6, V7, 4.[123]BSD, System
{III, V Release [1234]}, SunOS [234].x), and frankly, I don't expect to
*ever* see such a UNIX system....
