Well, they couldn't very well be, could they?  After all, Bezerkeley
decided to reuse the name "struct direct" for a different animal.
One cannot reasonably use this name for two different critters on
the same system!  AT&T's implementation is practically POSIX-compliant
(as is the one I posted, which can be used in native BSD environments
and which SHOULD eventually replace McKusick's).
