POSIX example quotes here:
------------------------------------------------
If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no
conversion is performed; the value of str is stored in the object pointed
to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.
If no conversion could be performed, 0 shall be returned and errno may be
set to [EINVAL].
[EINVAL] The value of base is not supported.
Since 0, {LONG_MIN} or {LLONG_MIN}, and {LONG_MAX} or {LLONG_MAX} are
returned on error and are also valid returns on success, an application
wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0, then call
strtol( ) or strtoll ( ), then check errno.

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads

for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Suggested by: alc (&dyson ?)
realloc functions check for recursion within the malloc code itself. In
a thread-safe library, the single spinlock ensures that no two threads
go inside the protected code at the same time. The thread implementation
is responsible for ensuring that the spinlock does in fact protect malloc.
There was a window of opportunity in which this was not the case. I'll fix
that with a commit RSN.
Our spinlock implementation allows a particular thread to obtain a lock
multiple times, but release the lock with a single unlock call. Since
we're detecting recursion, we know the lock is already owned by the
current thread in a previous call and must not be released in the
current call. This is really far too dependent on this particular
spinlock implementation, so I've added commented out calls to
THREAD_UNLOCK in the appropriate places. We can activate this code when
spinlock is taught to count each lock operation.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x). Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.
I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some

when it returns NULL to indicate failure, it will also free the memory
that was passed to it, if that was non-null.
This does not change the semantics of realloc.

the code that can safely use this to avoid memory leaks when confronted
with low memory situations.

but also assumes that they are 32-bits. This is one place where I don't
think it is appropriate to change 'long' to 'int'. I don't see why the
code couldn't be fixed so that using natural long variables does the
right thing. It's spaggetti code so it'll take some effort. Obviously
NetBSD thought so too because they change 'long' to 'int32_t' etc
and left it at that. As a temporary measure FreeBSD/Alpha can use the
NetBSD code and put this on the list of things to fix.
libc to determine if locking is required. This is needed in libc

really want to bother locking things. The variable was added here
because the crt code calls exit(main()) so all programs will get the

a malloc. The signal handler creates a thread which requires a malloc...
For now, the only thing to do is to block signals. When we move user
pthreads to use the kernel threads, mutexes will be implemented in kernel
space and then malloc can revert.
This fixes bugs in the manual handling. abs.[cS] was handled too
specially and the wrong (.c) variant for each of div.[cS], labs.[cS]

Malloc cannot use pthread_mutex_init() to initialize a mutex because
the mutex initialization process does a malloc!
libc_r internals skip the malloc and assign an initializer to a static
structure and point the opaque type (pthread_mutex_t in this case) to
that structure. This is done on the assumption that the mutex will never
be destroyed. This style of initialization is only valid inside libc_r
because the structure that is assigned is opaque to the user.

via mmap() up around the shared library area. Previously the directory
was allocated from space from it's own memory pool. Because of the way it
was being extended on processes with large malloced data segments (ie: inn)
once the page directory was extended for some reason, it was not possible
to lower the heap size any more to return pages to the OS.
(If my understanding is correct, page directory expansion occurs at 4MB,
12MB, 20MB, 28MB, etc.) I was seeing INN allocate a large amount of short
term memory, pushing it over the 28MB mark, and once it's transient demands
hit 28MB, it never freed it's pages and swap space again.)
I've been running this in my libc for about a month...
Also, seperate MALLOC_STATS from EXTRA_SANITY.. I found it useful to call
malloc_dump() from within INN from a ctlinnd command to see where the hell
