time now.
For whatever reason, the kernel seems to have generated SIGIOs
previously without an initial fcntl(...,F_SETOWN), but does no longer.
This caused window(1) to wait indefinitely for input.
Also, undo rev 1.3 of wwspawn.c, it was not well-thought, and
apparently not even tested at all. The blindly (even in a nonsensical
place like the comment on top of the function) applied replacement of
vfork() by fork() totally ignored that window(1) *does* abuse the
feature of vfork() where a modification of the parent's address space
is possible (in this case, to notify the parent of an erred exec*).
Also, with vfork(), it is guaranteed that the parent is only woken up
after the exec*() happened, where the replacement by fork() made the
parent to almost always become runnable again before the child, in
which case the parent simply told `subprocess died'. Unfortunately,
working around _this_ seems to be a lot more of redesign work compared
to little gained value, so i think relying on the specifics of vfork()
is the simpler way.

Instead, treat the inability to retrieve a record from the server as a
match failure and let things take its course.
Part of the problem here is that NIS _is_ turned on, however the master
server is actually not an NIS server: it's an NIS+ server. And the client
is bound to an NIS+ replica server that's running in YP compat mode.
The code which tries to figure out of the user is local or NIS gets
confused by this.

cross compilation work in some edge cases. It also makes cross

to the man page to indicate that the office location and office phone
fields are concatenated and printed with the heading "Office:" by
finger(1). Swap the order of the home and office phone fields in the
man page to match the order of the fields in the editor.
If any programs interact with chpass(1) and expect "Location:" instead
of "Office Location:" as the prompt, either this change will have to be
reverted or the other programs will have to be changed.

`ld ... <fudged ${LDFLAGS}>' to invoke the linker. This gets the
flags and standard library paths right without complications.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help for the X11 library paths -- cc
only appends /aout for standard library paths.
I'm not sure why we have `mvstat -z'. `sysctl vm.zone' gives more
information. OTOH, `sysctl vm.zone' shouldn't return ASCII data,
and reporting of memory use should be integrated, at least as an
option.
since it means -s (strip), and static linkage is forced correctly
anyway. Other things in ${LDFLAGS} are still bogusly passed to ld.
This only affects the aout case.
the display wrapped around.
This decreases the default maximum number of disks shown to 2, so things
don't wrap around so easily. Also, it fixes the header display issues.

peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

only likely to happen when you have a kernel<>userland mismatch,
but it's really annoying when top dumps core and leaves the terminal
in a mangled state; it's much nicer to print nicely formatted gibberish.
