Thank you very much, This is much appreciated.

As a workaround I have been just doing a local compile of 9lib and read then 
just copying the resulting read static binary to local/9/bin. Though this has 
provided temporary fixes its a pretty tedious process.

Curious question:

Have you noticed any weirdness the user environment whether it be in X or on the
console while the fdescfs module is loaded ?. I have had some impacts with this
being loaded in the past that I can not really explain and has deterred me from 
wanting to use the environment with that module loaded. I have noticed this 
happening since 6.1 through 7.2-STABLE and not specific to just the wmii port.

Best regards. And thanks again.
