The undocumented rin() routine in /lib/libc.a calls the non-existent
routine isdigit(), generating a very confusing loader message.
Rin() (read integer) is left over from v6. It is obviously not used
by anyone, or they would have fixed this bug. I recommend removing
it from the library, and forcing people to use scanf() instead.
