You're right, and I didn't even bother to check that until later.  I
just assumed that it would be defined since we have it.  Sigh.  That's
why my 1-line patch fixes it.

I saw similar strange breakage with statfs().  However, I was not sure
whether it was my own fault for putting wrong format strings in my
printf's, since I wasn't sure exactly what data type the data would
arrive in.  According to the manpage, all the records are long, but that
doesn't make sense in the context of largefile support on 32-bit
systems, so I suspect the manpage is out of date.  But I haven't
investigated.
