that had an inode that has not yet been written to disk, when the inode of the
new file is also not yet written to disk, and your old directory entry is not
yet on disk but you need to remove it and the new name exists in memory
but has been deleted but the transaction to write the deleted name to disk
exists and has not yet been cancelled by the request to delete the non
existant name. I don't know how kirk could have missed such a glaring
problem for so long. :-) Especially since the inconsitency survived on
the disk for a whole 4 second on average before being fixed by other code.
This was not a crashing bug but just led to filesystem inconsitencies
if you crashed.

and we have not done an explicit 'cvs login', then use a default password
of "anoncvs". This allows things like:
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs
cvs checkout src (without doing the normal 'cvs login' for pserver mode)
but this runs over the :pserver: protocol rather than the more troublesome
rsh. Naturally, the server had better be running in -R (readonly) mode :-)
CVSROOT/passwd file is empty. A 'cvs login' still seems to be required
since the cvs client doesn't seem to believe it's possible to not need
a password (yet :-). This is intended for cheap anoncvs use.
This is mostly intended for use on freefall where we'd like to provide
a passwd file for easy anoncvs mirroring access, but don't want to open
up the pserver on freefall itself.
While here, some initial tweaks intended for allowing an empty pserver
password. I'm not sure that this works yet.
while calling libdiff. It's too ugly and not worth the recursion problems
when there is a malloc failure (which writes to stderr - now diverted via
the buf system, which calls malloc, which causes another error message etc).
We can live with the standard artificial slowdown, but reduce the time a
bit and only delay when we really need to (ie: when running as a server).
The usleep time could probably use some tuning, it basically needs to
replace the time that it used to take to fork a large process, exec gnudiff
and the time that gnudiff took before writing the initial output.
This eliminates a whole mess of other hacks I was considering that changed
use of xmalloc to alloca() etc. It was going too fast in the wrong
direction.
