now identical with the distributed versions, which may cause some
abbreviations to change for people in obscure zones. (The abbreviations
can be changed again if need be.) It also changes the abbreviation
of Central European Time to `CET' from its previous value of `MET'
(a curious German-English hybrid). Finally, we have finally rid
ourselves of those nasty ZONE-DESCR comments, which were a maintenance
nightmare, in favor of the new zone.tab file. We are not using the
distribution's iso3166.tab file because we have our own list.

- It no longer attempts to fiddle wall-vs-UTC-in-RTC. The results
were just confusing most of the time.
- The program no longer contains a pre-compiled list of timezones
(compiled by groveling through the tzdata source files for comments
starting with `ZONE-DESCR'). Now it uses the new `zone.tab' file
supplied with current versions of the timezone data files, to determine
the list at run time. (It also requires the ISO 3166 table I
committed some months ago.)
AS A RESULT, this program will NOT work until the new timezone data files
are committed (should happen sometime soon).

The 'getchar' function in syscons (sccngetc) is used by UserConfig to
get keyboard input from the user. When it was modified to use the
shared keyboard port routines it used the port passed in during the
probe routine. Since the probe routine was not yet called, the port was
set to 0, which is obviously not going to work.
Pre-initialize sc_port to IO_KBD which is really a kludge, but it's how
the previous driver did it's job.

Some cosmetic tweaks.
Some improvement in translation.
This change, together with recent change to jmembers.sgml and jcontrib.sgml,
should definitely go into 2.2.
This includes the following changes:
- Support for poking ARP entries into the local table is now built
in, so the arptab.c module I hacked together is no longer needed.
- rarp_process() and rarp_reply() now accept a len argument which is
passed down from rarp_loop() which tells rarp_reply() exactly how
long the original RARP frame was. (Usually, it's 60 bytes, which is
the minimum.) Previously, the length was calculated using the sum
of sizeof(struct ether_header) + sizeof(struct ether_arp) (plus the
ethernet frame header, I think). The result was a total packet
length of 42 bytes. Now, rarp_reply() sends out packets that are
the same size as those it recieves (60 bytes). This agrees with the
behavior of rarpd on SunOS (as observed with tcpdump). The unused
extra bytes are zeroed.
the races in my previous commits here, and fix some other problems with
syslogd as well.
- if the child process exited early (eg: could not bind to the socket),
the boot process would hang for 30 seconds. The parent was not noticing
that the child had exited. (my fault)
- when writing to tty devices, instead of treating them like files that
need \r\n instead of \n, actually use ttymsg() which has specific code
intended to write to potentially blocking ttys safely. I had a machine
lock up last night because /dev/console on a serial port got flow control
blocked. Setting comcontrol drainwait fixed everything but syslogd which
was going into a spin trying to write to the console and completely
ignoreing everything else.
- fix a couple of nonsensical bits of code while here.. eg: wait3 takes
a pointer to an int. There is no sense in declaring it as 'union wait',
then casting the pointer to (int *), then forgetting about it.
Garbage in `eacces' caused the wrong errno to be set for non-EACCES errors.
Garbage in `etxtbsy' caused a semi-random retry strategy for ETXTBSY errors.

substantially increasing buffer space. Specifically, we double
the number of buffers, but allocate only half the amount of memory
per buffer. Note that VDIR files aren't cached unless instantiated
in a buffer. This will significantly improve caching.
