I have no comment on the functionality.  But "xstat" is probably a poor
choice of name.  There is precedent for that function name with different
meaning in the userland APIs.  (It's a moderately useless meaning inherited
from SVR4, but regardless overloading a name previously used is unwise.)


Thanks,
Roland
