The goal with the statfs() call was to verify that we're not on a
persistent filesystem; I think I'd prefer it to be there.
It looks like the only changes you made were the chdir() and removing
the statfs(), right? From your previous post I suspect that statfs() is
simply broken in klibc (not really surprising since I just made big
changes to it last night.) I'll see if I can make it cleaner.
