(file-IO system-calls would be modified to detect if 'Unix file > descriptors' or pointers to 'native file descriptors' are passed to them, > so this is truly radical.) Yuck, don't pass pointers in kernel space to user space! NT does it and look what kernel call argument verification havoc it wrought over them!
