I can do that, but I was waiting for Andras, Peng or Nikita to let me
now if there was something I was missing or not.  I'm pretty sure it's
something bogus, perhaps left over from a OS abstraction layer to
support Solaris or some such, but I am curious what was the historical
reason for the current code.
