For small rects there was a disagreement between two parts of the
layout algorithm. There is a function that decides if there is
enough space in a rectangle for a label. But this function was
called on two slightly different rectangles.
This API was a mostly gratuitous deviation from POSIX that gave up some
portability in exchange for avoiding the occasional strlen().
I don't think that was actually achieving anything valuable, so let's
just chill out and have the same open() API as everyone else. :^)
