this may be related to the change put in for the routerboard.
it increased the size of Tos, and thus shifted everything around
on the stack. but the old pc kernel didn't account for this, and
386 kernels failed with bad arg in syscall. this never affected the
pae kernel, or the other architectures. here's the fix as it went
into 9atom.
; 9fs atom
; cd /n/atom/plan9/sys/src/9/pc
; history -D main.c
