In 2.5.18 some minix-specific stuff was moved to the minix
subdirectory where it belonged. However, a typo crept in.
A few people have complained, but so far not sufficiently loudly.

The bug is of a type that automated tools might discover:
a value res is computed, but not used.

Will this patch fix the fact that 'du' is broken on minix, as a
few of us have been reporting?  (Assume yes:  Yippeedoo! Thanks!) -Tom
