- OK, I'm still converting thousands of lines of MACRO-32 to DEC C on
- an Alpha. I am now wondering about "library functions" such as memcpy,
- strncpy and the like.

- Is there any reason to think they would be safe to call in kernel
- mode, at high IPL, and with spinlocks held? Or would that be more like
- expecting lib$get_input to work in the middle of a driver?
