-*** Editing files through RFS gives spurious "file has changed" warnings.
-It is possible that a change in Emacs 18.37 gets around this problem,
-but in case not, here is a description of how to fix the RFS bug that
-causes it.
-
-    There was a serious pair of bugs in the handling of the fsync() system
-    call in the RFS server.
-
-    The first is that the fsync() call is handled as another name for the
-    close() system call (!!).  It appears that fsync() is not used by very
-    many programs; Emacs version 18 does an fsync() before closing files
-    to make sure that the bits are on the disk.
-
-    This is fixed by the enclosed patch to the RFS server.
-
-    The second, more serious problem, is that fsync() is treated as a
-    non-blocking system call (i.e., it's implemented as a message that
-    gets sent to the remote system without waiting for a reply).  Fsync is
-    a useful tool for building atomic file transactions.  Implementing it
-    as a non-blocking RPC call (when the local call blocks until the sync
-    is done) is a bad idea; unfortunately, changing it will break the RFS
-    protocol.  No fix was supplied for this problem.
