Check out MINIX which is a full blown implementation of Unix System 7. 
It comes with complete source, and it has *3* stdio packages [we haven't
figured out which one is better yet...].  If your university already has
MINIX, you can copy it off of them for free (that's the copyright).  If
not, $110 for the complete system is reasonable for ANYONE's graduate
budget.  MINIX was implemented by Dr. Andrew Tanenbaum.

For more info, check out comp.os.minix.
