The first is difficult to get right, the second will be

of the ..umm.. "wierd" way binutils lays out the file. The section
headers are nearly at the end of the file and this is a problem when
loading from a .gz file which can't seek backwards (or has a limited
reverse seek, ~2K from memory).
This is intended to be compatable with the ddb/db_elf.c code and the
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c layout. I've studied these (which are NetBSD
derived) but did it a bit differently. Naturally the process is similar
since it's supposed to end up with the same result.
block descriptors enabled on mode sense commands.
Basically, we try sending a mode sense with block descriptors disabled (the
previous default), and if it fails, we try sending the mode sense with
block descriptors enabled. If that works, we note that in a runtime quirk
entry, so we don't bother disabling block descriptors again for the device.
This problem was first reported by Chris Jones <cjones@honors.montana.edu>
on one of the NetBSD lists, but I'd imagine that some FreeBSD users would
have run into it eventually as well, since our changer driver is derived
form the NetBSD changer driver.
Also, change some of the probe logic so that we do the right thing in the

Paris, 17 July 1998
Bulletin C 16
To authorities responsible for
the measurement and distribution
of time
UTC TIME STEP
on the 1st of January 1999
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 1998.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
1999 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
from 1997 July 1, 0h UTC, to 1999 January 1, 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 31s
from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 32s
Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of
December or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C mailed
every six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that
there will be no time step at the next possible date.
