To Rob:

Maybe Rob should you exume gb.posix? It is really a POSIX thing there! 

I didn't remember what you put in that component, but maybe I didn't take it 
because there were too few things in it for making a component. 

On the other hand, we could have to face other POSIX problems like that, so...
