+/* The current stdio lib that Linux uses has a problem that screws up
+** scsh's interrupt system: when a stdio function such as getc() or fputs()
+** blocks in an i/o system call, and that system call is interrupted, the
+** stdio function realises this and loops, retrying the the i/o operation.
+** What we need is for the stdio function to return an error, with 
+** errno=EINTR -- i.e., we need for the stdio function to give control back
+** to the caller, telling it that the i/o call was interrupted.
+**
+** The EINTR error return is in fact mandated by Posix. The next release
+** of the GNU libc will provide this functionality. The current release
+** doesn't. So we use the workaround in this file. Calling 
+**	remove_bone_from_head_of_linux_libc()
+** will smash the call tables of the i/o library so that non-retrying
+** functions get called to do the i/o system calls.
+**
+** Why does scsh need non-retry? Because in scsh, Unix signals are *not*
+** handled by the actual Unix signal handler. The signal handler is just
+** a piece of C code that sets a bit, notifying the S48 vm that it needs
+** to service a signal. When the vm gets to a vm instruction boundary,
+** it suspends execution of the program and services the interrupt by
+** invoking a *Scheme* function. In this way, we can interrupt on VM
+** instruction boundaries with VM interrupt handlers.
+**
+** If a C function retries when interrupted, we never return to Scheme,
+** and so the vm never has a chance to service the interrupt. This is bad.
+**
+** This code was contributed by Roland McGrath.
