Blech! That is gross.

Can't there be a better way? Like looking it up in /etc/name_to_sysnum
dynamically? Sure, this is less efficient than hardcoding it, but
isn't it "the right solution"?

Maybe the problem is that xfs under Solaris is supposed to use doors? :-)

Does anyone have any pointers to source to any reference loadable syscall
modules???
