This makes us in line with SunOS 4.1.3_U1, Solaris 2.6, OpenBSD 2.3,
HP-UX 10.20, Irix 5.3. The previous behavior was in line with Ultrix 4.4.

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
time. However, the CTM-express is at part 6 of 34 for the CAM
changes, so I've not been able to do a build world with the CAM in the
tree with these changes. Shouldn't impact anything, but...
addresses by default.
Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this
behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf".
Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho"
in sysctl(3).

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.
A second commit will be done to commit the conversion of those places in
the code that can safely use this to avoid memory leaks when confronted
with low memory situations.

to fork. It is difficult to do real vfork in libc_r, since almost every
operation with file descriptsor changes _thread_fd_table and friends.
popen(3) works much better with this change.
- Fix some style errors I made back in 1995.
- Add a new flavor of the err(3) family, which takes an explicit
errno argument rather than implicitly examining errno. This
will make it easier to use these functions in conjunction with
modern library interfaces that return an errno value explicitly.
backing file for an anonymous (memory based) btree, and I don't think
that any setuid programs actually use it, but it is better to be safe
than sorry. This has been in my tree for a long time, maybe a year or
more...

a year ago)
standard places ("/etc/objformat", ${OBJFORMAT}, argv) for an
indication of the user's preferred object file format. This
consolidates some code that was starting to be duplicated in more
and more places.
Use the new function in ldconfig.
Note: I don't think that gcc should use getobjformat(), even though
it could. The compiler should limit itself to functions that are
widespread, to ease porting and cross-compilation.
and res_* modules in a way that works for ELF. I moved the aliases
out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry
points are defined. Weak aliases don't work in ELF unless that is
the case. (Actually, I'm surprised it worked for a.out.)
This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in
various applications that fail to include <arpa/inet.h> or
<resolv.h> as they are supposed to do.
the diff is attached below. This is done on the 3.0 source-tree.
I have test this on 2.2-stable before, but I don't have a 3.0 machine
right now.
This patch is mainly to make libc support BIG5 encoding, thus add
zh_TW.BIG5 locale to 3.0.
