I can't promise that this is right for you, but this is how my version
of the code (which runs in my private copy of Ultrix, NOT a product)
looked when it was hacked over by the folks at Stanford (this is a
reconstruction; I don't actually have one file with this code in it).

	    if (iov->iov_len >= CLBYTES) {	/* big enough to use a page */
		register struct mbuf *p;
#ifdef	SULTRIX
		if (mclget(m) == 0)
#else
		MCLGET(m, p);
		if (p == 0)
#endif	SULTRIX
		    goto nopages;
		len = CLBYTES;
	    }
	    else {
nopages:
		len = MIN(MLEN, iov->iov_len);
	    }

This is NOT GUARANTEED!

By the way, I can contemplate rather nasty punishments for people
who change the arguments to macros without changing their name.
