; So you want to clear a device that someone has left allocated and gone
; away, huh?  Be vewy vewy caweful.  We'we huntin' wabbits.

; V1.0.0        Created because I'm not getting enough interesting
;               kernel-coding to do in my regular job.
;
; V2.0.0        Made it $ASSIGN, set reference count to 1, $DASSGN
;               19-Sep-1991     Ehud Gavron
;
; V2.0.1        Added clearing of mount bit so I can use this to
;               release tapes owned by nonexistent processes.
