The problem with this example is that it is clearly *VERY* dependent
on Unix, and specifically BSD, semantics. Consider what would happen
if you tried to port this code to a non-BSD or non-Unix environment.
Despite the Open Systems and POSIX movements, Unix is not the only
O.S. in the world (there's more DOS than any other O.S.) (scary, ain't it?)
