pa,
Please remind me why we don't make EWOULDBLOCK == EAGAIN?
I know it would break our existing ABI, but Linux apps expect them to be
the same. I remember vaguely some argument about hpux compatibility...
I'm sleepy, but I thought I'd post so I don't forget.
I'm reminded of this because update-menus is complaining about locks
during a recent 712/100 install, and it all came flooding back.
