   I can't use rrn on the office RT's running VICE:
   [steve-dallas:/mit/jtkohl]% rrn
   getwd: read error in ..

   Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored
   Exit 1               rrn
   [steve-dallas:/mit/jtkohl]% 

Hmm.  rrn and friends need to be relinked.  The system call number for
getdirent() (or whatever it is) changed from the one which Brown
"appropriated" to one officially sanctioned by IBM.  The one which
brown appropriated is now one of the Vice system calls.

This means that rrn will no longer run on 5.5T; I don't think we care
about that.
