of the typedefs off_t and pid_t when use of the latter would cause namespace pollution. These macros are used like _BSD_VA_LIST_ and aren't #undef'ed when the corresponding typedef is declared. off_t is very machine-dependent and should never have been decided in <sys/types.h> (its declaration is compiler-dependent). pid_t isn't very machine-dependent, but this might change. `long' is a wasteful type for it if longs are longer than ints. Move the definition of _BSD_VA_LIST_ away from the comment that suggests that it is #undefed when va_list is declared.

may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation! Thanks!
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
