                                               ^^^^ :-) I love this!

More seriously, though, Valerio, I suggest you get the original papers
(starting with http://plan9.att.com/ you'll have little trouble
finding the remainder) and follow them up with the released documents
(they are available separately from the complete distribution).

Also, there's a fair amount of Unix ported source that might clarify
some of the aspects you're investigating; this is in the public domain
so you needn't spend any money on it.  Dumb suggestion, perhaps, but I
could not resist that opRANTing :-)
