Small bug in ofiles-4

There's a small (but annoyning) bug in ofiles-4 from titan.rice.edu:
there's a call to kvm_open() which is missing the last argument, the error
string.  if by chance /vmunix, /dev/kmem, /dev/mem, or /dev/drum are not
world readable (for example, on our machines), ofiles will dump core when
it tries to print out the nonexistent error string.

This should probably get fixed in the archives...
