Just remember that when you're programming on a NetBSD-1.0 system, you
are *not* programming on what is traditionally known of as a "BSD"
system.  The 4.4Lite based systems are more POSIX compliant than
anything else (from the API p.o.v. anyway).

See my previous note about rm from the original thread for exactly
what's going on with "rm -rf /dir/".
