Well, if all we're going to be compatible with is POSIX, we might as well
be minix, which is also posix-compliant.

Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but it seems to me that if you pass
to a routine (ESPECIALLY A libc ROUTINE) a perfectly valid argument,
the routine SHOULD NOT SEGFAULT.

If this somehow seems non-sensical, then I must be living in some alternate
non-NetBSD universe!  ;-)

(sorry for shouting, above).
