Before a process is replaced by os.exec*(), userspace buffers usuallyneed to be flushed. However, it is not necessary to flush kernel buffersto disk using os.fsync(). Flushing userspace buffer to kernel, andflushing kernel buffer to disk, are two different things. In addition,os.fsync() is not applicable to pipes or sockets. This patch removesthis confusing information.
