No, your code change is correct... in fact is what I have in my local tree. 
The only problem I recall is with GCC 3.3.2 from Mandrake 10.0, which 
miscompiles any UML/2.4 (but not UML/2.6). I've never found out why.

Hmm, I *have* to release the -bs2 sooner or later... the hostfs support is 
surely better in -bs1, for the rest 2.4.27-um1 is slightly better
