I'd like to review this but I won't have time until later in the week. 
 From an initial look then there are a few things are not pretty (the 
changes to fix the AIX problems with I/O cancellation in particular) and 
I suspect that some refactoring is going to be required to handle some 
of this cleanly. A minor comment is that bug synopsis doesn't really 
communicate what these changes are about.
