 If you are tracking current, you might as well upgrade.  It is a
 waste of time to make every version of current work with lsof and
 all the kernel grovellers. It is enough that head works. To do this
 right, one needs to check out and install each version of current
 and compile lsof on each one. I have better things to do with my time;
 if you don't you are welcome to fix it.
