Perhaps you don't understand what I mean.  What I'm talking about is the
fact that most functions in packfile.c don't even take an interpreter
argument. =20

	C:\brent\Visual Studio Projects\Perl 6\parrot\parrot>grep -l
"PIO_eprintf(NULL" *.c
	debug.c
	malloc.c
	packdump.c
	packfile.c
	packout.c

Wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in
New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates
exactly the same way. The only difference is that there is no cat.
