Hi Matthew. One of our linux fs folks will take a look at this, since
we don't see any problems with the netbsd fs code.

This will be fixed in the upcoming release. A tiny bug in open that
should have been fixed a long time ago, but got lost somehow.

Be sure to fsck that filesystem ... Also, if you get a chance to look
at startup/start_fs.c, it should be apparent how to convert that into
start_linux_fs.c. If you send us back the file, we will include it in
the startup library, no charge.
