tag support. These changes have been tested with a Breeze Hill
Q47 DLT and a DEC DLT2500 media changer. The latter has no
volume tag support.
The chio(1) command was updated to include various flags to the
status subcommand. These flags can be used to select additional
information to be displayed (like volume tags).
A new chio(1) subcommand named 'voltag' has been added which allows
for changes to volume tags inside the media changer controller.
This could not be tested as the Q47 does not provide the functio-
nality.

i.e. this makes emacs usable from system(3). Programs called from

Removed explicit dependencies of foo.o on foo.c. These were mainly
placeholders for comments about missing dependencies of tools objects
on headers. This problem needs to be handled more generally.
Use /dev/null for opening the kvm library, we don't need access to /dev/mem

ps can now run without the setgid(kmem) bit. If it does it will not be
able to show argv/envp for another uid's processes unless you are root.
This should calm down attempts to `cp -p' to a nfs mount or some other
filesystem that doesn't accept flags or all combinations of flags.
It will warn if it fails to change flags though.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid

urgent need is when you run sh around a program that intentionally

The solution committed has been tested for a large number of possible

following of the symlink for `rmdir symlink/' and is unnecessary
for ordinary directories (POSIX doesn't require rmdir(1) to do
anything for trailing slashes; it requires rmdir(2) to let them
"refer to a directory", and following the symlink for symlink/ is
what BSD does). This also fixes bugs in the slash-stripping code
(for paths consisting entirely of slashes, the pointer into the
string was decremented to "before" the beginning of the string,
and the path was at best stripped to "".
The behaviour is unchanged except for the final directory for
`rmdir -p ...'. There is no alternative to stripping intermediate
slashes since they must be specified. The sloppy slash-stripping
code is adequate for intermediate directories, since the all-slashes
case fails early.

systems where a PS command can cause the system to grind to a halt. The
ability to get the information isn't diminished for those who really need the
additional detail (administrators.) Normal users won't see any difference unless
the processes are swapped out. The "really get it mode" is invoked by the
use of an additional flag in the command string "-f". New/old behavior is
selectable with a compile option.
