FreeBSD 4.0, Arla 0.22 w/recently posted paches.  I attempt to save an
image to a directly in AFS and receive a dialog saying:

Netscape: Error

Error opening /afs/andrew/usr4/rnw/www/teletubbies.gif
Interrupted system call

Don't ask about the filename. :-)  Apparently Netscape does not anticipate
receiving EINTR during open()?  Or something like that.  I seem to recall
that Coda had this problem for a while; however, one FreeBSD 4.0, open(2)
clearly lists EINTR as a possible error return, so it seems more like a
Netscape problem really.  (I could be mistaken)
