ofpath, please test



i have a test version of ofpath up at http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files.

it should fix a problem on oldworlds where a null or some other
garbage character was showing up in the middle of the returned OF
device name.  

even if you don't use quik if you have an oldworld please test this to
1) make sure it works correctly, and 2) that it does not output any
garbage in the returned path.   

the best way to test for this is to pipe its output to od -a since
this garbage is not always visable on all terminals.

for example:

$ ofpath /dev/hda2
hd:2
$ ofpath /dev/hda2 | od -a
0000000   h   d   :   2  nl
0000005
$

just check that there is nothing else showing up in the od output,
particularly 'nul' or 'soh' (the last 'nl' is the newline).  

TIA
