Would it be acceptable to add EINTR-type checks to freebsd-ish
code?  There are some sections of lpr/lpd which do not work
right when compiled on other platforms, unless I add EINTR
checks at the right places.

Admittedly I haven't gone thru and figured out everyplace that
should have those checks, I've just added them when I run into
some system call which seems to get interrupted a lot.  The
present lpr code already includes *some* checks for EINTR, but
I add a few more (when I compile lpr on other platforms...).
Would it be reasonable to add those to the regular freebsd
source for lpr?
