It addresses a number of problems that were present in earlier
versions.
The calls to the "init" and "fini" functions of shared libraries
have been reordered, so that they are called in a strictly nested
fashion, as is required for C++ constructors and destructors. In
addition, the "init" functions are called in better order relative
to each other. That makes the system more tolerant of C++ programs
which depend on a library's being initialized before its clients.
The dynamic linker is now more tolerant of shared libraries in
which dependencies on other shared libraries are incompletely
recorded.
Cleanup in the event of errors has been improved throughout the
dynamic linker. A number of memory leaks were eliminated.
The warning message for a shared library whose minor version number
is too old has been clarified.
The code dealing with the "ld.so.hints" file has been cleaned up.
A bug that caused the hints file to be unmapped incompletely has
been fixed. A different bug that could potentially cause the hints
file to be mapped on top of a loaded object has been fixed.
The code that searches for shared libraries has been cleaned up.
The searching is now more compatible with that done by SunOS and
SVR4. Also, some unnecessary and useless searches of both the
hints file and library directories have been eliminated.

comparison of "where we are at" relative to the current version from
cyclic.com. Since this is in a 4.4BSD style tree layout, the changelogs
dont exactly match the file layout, but it's close enough.

Two uninitialised variables were causing a phkmalloc warning (another notch
in phkmalloc's belt) and caused the full rcstemplate to not be constructed
for commits on freefall.
(Note that you need to have either done a 'make world' or explicitly
run a 'make distrib-dirs' (in src/etc) to get some needed directories in
/usr/share/examples/cvs to be built.)
The code, as written, appears to load the new database data into a new
hash file and renames the two.
Due to a run of bugs and lack of error checking, it's going a whole
mess of unlink() and rename() calls that are failing. It only
worked in the first place because the data was being inserted into a
"live" hash file. (I wonder how much stale data has assumulated?)
