Done, we'll soon see what happens.
In the same area, I noticed that POSIX does not say that the success
result for fcntl(F_SETFD) and related cases is 0. It says that the
failure result is -1 and the success result is some other value.
We seem to have this right in most places, but e.g. port/noblock.c
gets it wrong. The lack of field complaints implies that just about
everybody actually does return 0 on success, but I still think it
would be a good idea to run around and make all the calls test
specifically for -1.
