pattern matches will occur at offset zero of the source string. The bug causes
the input source string pointer to be incremented by the offset of the end of
the match, instead of it's length. The fix is to only increment the pointer by
the length of the pattern match (eo-so).
Of course, the one example in the man page shows a situation where the match
occurs at offset 0.

for regular files. This fixes recent breakage of cp'ing from /dev/zero.
/dev/zero doesn't support mmap(), but the device driver mmap routines are
not called for mapping 0 bytes, so the error was not detected. mmap()
can't even be used for cp'ing special files that support mmap(), since
there is general way to determine the file size.
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.
Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.

tag support. These changes have been tested with a Breeze Hill
Q47 DLT and a DEC DLT2500 media changer. The latter has no
volume tag support.
The chio(1) command was updated to include various flags to the
status subcommand. These flags can be used to select additional
information to be displayed (like volume tags).
A new chio(1) subcommand named 'voltag' has been added which allows
for changes to volume tags inside the media changer controller.
This could not be tested as the Q47 does not provide the functio-
nality.

Don't output double-quotes inside variable expansion/arithmetic
expansion region in here-documents. When leaving the arithmetic
expansion syntax mode, adjust the dblquote flag according to
previous syntax, in order to avoid splitting of quoted variables.
foreground child is running. Formerly, traps were exceuted after the
next child exit.
The enables the user to put a breaking wrapper around a blocking
application:
(trap 'echo trap ; exit 1' 2; ./pestyblocker; echo -n)
The "echo -n" after the child call is needed to prevent sh from
optimizing the trap-executing shell away. I'm working on this.
multiple times when performing nested variable expansion, and
preserve some quoting information in order to avoid removing
apparently empty expansion result.
i.e. this makes emacs usable from system(3). Programs called from
shellscripts are now required to exit with proper signal status. That
means, they have to kill themself. Exiting with faked numerical exit
code is not sufficient.
Exit with proper signal status if script exits on signal.
Make the wait builtin interruptable, both with and without traps set.
Use volatile sig_atomic_t where (and only where) appropriate.
(Almost) fix printing of newlines on SIGINT.
Make traps setable from trap handlers. This is needed for shellscripts
that catch SIGINT for cleanup work but intend to exit on it, hance
have to kill themself from a trap handler. I.e. mkdep.
While I'm at it, make it -Wall clean. -Wall is not enabled in
Makefile, since vararg warnx() macro calls in usr.bin/printf/printf.c
are not -Wall-able.

effectively overriding the dynamically-sized-column feature. This
is mostly useful for non-interactive use, where it may be necessary
to ensure that listings taken at different times have columns that
line-up correctly. I have been assured that at least one large,
well-known program will soon be taking advantage of this. :-)
