I've got a problem...

I've finally got round to rebuilding my plan9
machine and created a fresh source tree with
all appropriate boddles applied.

This seems not to compile because at various
places, stuff like 'va_list' have been used
without #include<stdarg.h>.
>From memory aux/vga/errors.c, libpanel/print.c,
libpanel/pulldown.c and a couple of others
are affected. Sticking the extra line in
fixes it BTW.

Have I messed up or are the sources broken?

Also, as a general warning, RedHat Linux has
a bug in the scsi drivers which stops it
getting at the last two sectors on some drives.
Mine's a Quantum Fireball 1280. This has
interesting effects when you use linux to
transfer your plan9 IDE drive onto a scsi
drive...
At least I can be smug about keeping a text
copy of the partition map.

Thanks,
David Johnston
