we can recurse when loading dependencies and that the kstack is limited
to something like 6 or 7KB. Having a single dependency caused an instant
double panic, and I stronly suspect some of the other strange "events"
that I have seen are possibly as a result of taking a couple of interrupts
with a large chunk of the stack already in use.
While here, fix a minor logic hiccup in a sanity check.
I don't have access to a BSD/OS machine to check the veracity of the
magic number. However, no harm will be done by the commit and since
someone was motivated enough to file a PR, I'm committing the change.

Prompted by: jkh
file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.
o Add fexists word to check for the presence of a file
o make fexists and fload immediate words which DTRT both interpreted
and compiled (doh!)
o add an init word which gets run at bootstrapping time to do extra
post-coldload initialization (in the default implementation, we
look for /boot/boot.4th and load it if found).
