I don't know of any, no.  I am assuming Jim ran into one
at some point, but if we don't know of any, perhaps we should
leave the code alone, and just add a comment saying that we're
making an assumption that seems to be valid even though POSIX
doesn't require it.

Sure, I suppose, though it's hard to get excited about optimizing
for dubious platforms.
