The issue is one at the kernel level here, not in klibc, but the 
question is what exactly the kernel expects.  Normally you should be 
able to pull the floppy out as soon as it's done accessing it, since 
it's a readonly operation.

I just did a trace using glibc "cat", and it doesn't do any syncing or 
anything like that, so I'm confused about how any of this would matter...
