FYI, these syscall numbers are "available", at least for
private tests:

break() = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
stty(0x1, 0x1) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
gtty(0x2, 0x2) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
ftime() = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
prof() = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
acct(0x8048e4a) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
lock() = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
mpx() = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)

Note that nobody can even call break() from the 'C' language. The
name is reserved ;^) This is probably a good candidate for the
next permanent name change.
