Subject: [PATCH] Use syscall(2) rather than {open,read,close}(2) during boot.

Some applications wrap various system calls, and if they call the
allocator in their wrappers, unexpected reentry can result.  This is not
a general solution (many other syscalls are spread throughout the code),
but this resolves a bootstrapping issue that is apparently common.

This resolves #443.
