+ * an endless loop always processing the same request over and
+ * over again. We used to assume that vwv and the byte buffer
+ * array in a chain are always attached, but OS/2 the
+ * Write&X/Read&X chain puts the Read&X vwv array right behind
+ * the Write&X vwv chain. The Write&X bcc array is put behind
+ * the Read&X vwv array. So now we check whether the chain
+ * offset points strictly behind the previous vwv
+ * array. req->buf points right after the vwv array of the
