[nos-bbs] Torstens UNIX.H Darwin patches (was getting mail into the BBS)

Greetings all,

Sorry for leaving this thread so long.

First things first. Good work Torsten !

That's dangerous, and I don't like it. I'm going to see if I can straighten
that out. Technically, those functions should be retrieved from system hdrs,
that way who cares what operating system is being used, and we can trust
that the functions are defined the way they should be (one hopes anyways).

Patches noted. Thank you.

Yep. Can you email me your latest binary to my work account. Thanks. Also,
please give me a 'uname -a' and a 'gcc -v' so that I can tell people what
version of O/S it is *meant* for. Thanks again Torsten.
