I did an install of the thing on a renamed AT&T SVR4 box (it's
an IBCS2 binary) with a before/after date/time/file list snapshot
and moved the files from the snapshot over to the BSD box.
It was a while back, meaning I used the SEF/Soren IBCS2 module,
and I had to hack the Linux /dev/socksys(?) into the BSD to make
it work.
I think it will work fine using the 2.1, or the statfs is
expecting a smaller buffer and the ABI module needs to be fixed
(I say "or" here because I think it's fixed in -current).
