in both cases, the test returning the wrong result won't easily
be noticed. lp just mounts somthing else on
yesterday. anth_x discovered that test -w on directory always
returns false even tho the directory is writable.
test works by calling access(AWRITE) on the file which tries
a open(OWRITE) on the directory. this always fails because
you can't open directory for writing.

I'm trying to add a restart feature to my modified rio by calling exec on a
saved argv[0] and copy of argv that has been null terminated, but it crashes
every time. Is there something about exec on plan9 that I should be aware

# magic stuff here

Thank you! very nice.
Are there any hoops to jump through to import a VM? When I last
checked, it didn't seem possible to load a non-sanctioned OS image.

I've made a few tweaks to the paravirtualised plan 9 kernel in
/n/sources/xen/xen3 to make it compatible with the xen environment
used in amazon's "elastic compute cloud". There's an example public
