KNOWN BUGS

(none)

MISSING FEATURES

- Support for kernel file monitors other than IMon.

- Ability to disable monitoring of very slow filesystems.

SLIGHTLY BROKEN STUFF

- The way we check for an NFS filesystem isn't very good.

- BTree iteration could be better.

- Manual pages mention IRIX paths and sections, which may not be correct
  for all systems.

- FAM sometimes tries to open /dev/imon even if IMon support is disabled.
  Let me know if you find out why!

- The RPM build process is not well-written and will be removed in a future
  version.

- configure.in ignores the test for sys/statvfs.h on Linux because the f_fsid
  type is a struct, and no operator<(const __fsid_t &, const __fsid_t) has been
  written.  (I don't remember whether that was the necessary operator or not;
  remove the chunk in configure.in which stomps HAVE_STATVFS, and uncomment the
  part which checks for CONFIG_FSID_T, and see what breaks when you compile.)

- configure.in should be better.  Let me know if you can help.
