The exit status may exceed 255 in some cases (return); even though it seems
unwise to rely on this, it is also unwise to assume that $? is always
between 0 and 255.
This resolves bin/124748 by documenting that 'exit -1' is not valid.

character.
This avoids using non-standard behaviour of the old (upto FreeBSD 7) TTY
layer: it reprocesses the input queue when switching to canonical mode. The
new TTY layer does not provide this functionality and so read -t worked
very poorly (first character is not echoed, cannot be backspaced but is
still read).
This also agrees with what most other shells with read -t do.

if the status was actually tested. Unfortunately a new file-scope variable
is needed, the alternative would only be to add a new parameter to all

More precisely, this gives precedence to an interpretation not using the
'(', ')', '-a' and '-o' in their special meaning, if possible. For example,
it is now safe to write [ "$a" = "$b" ] and assume it compares the two
strings.
The man page already says that test(1) works this way, so does not need to
be changed.
Interpretation of input with more parameters tries a bit harder to find a
valid parse in some cases.
Add various additional test cases to TEST.sh.

A difference between the old and the new TTY layer is that the new
implementation does not perform any post-processing before returning
data back to userspace when calling read().
sh(1)'s read turns the TTY into a raw mode before calling select(). This
means that the first character will not receive any ICRNL processing.
Inherit this flag from the original terminal attributes.
Even though this issue is not present on RELENG_*, I'm MFCing it to make
sh(1) in jails behave better.

label is choosen as last printout (ucomm suffers of this such bug
too). That bug is caused by the fact that the fixed size of

Implement ucomm and comm commands with a dynamic size lenght for

rather than a voltag name, do not set the CESR_VOLTAGS flags in the
CHIOGSTATUS command requesting the current status. As voltags are an
optional feature that must be handled as "reserved" by media changers
not implementing the feature, always setting CESR_VOLTAGS resulted in
the command being aborted with an `Invalid field in CDB', and
consequently the "chio return" failed, for media changers that do not
support voltags.

memory: if number of physmem pages is greater than 32k (equalling 128 MB
on machines with 4 kB pages).
Typical immediate result of these changes is reduction in context switches
and the goal is to increase efficiency by using large buffers:

11194 involuntary context switches

Because we now enforce UNIX98-style PTY's, we now use a lot of TTY's
that don't have the traditional /dev/ttyXX naming scheme. pkill(1)'s -t
flag automatically prepended the word "tty" to each TTY that was passed
on the command line. This meant that `pkill -t pts/0' was actually
converted to /dev/ttypts/0. Disable this broken behaviour for now.

Initially, 'acl' (an 'acl_t *') is allocated, and its ACCESS_ACL and
DEFAULT_ACL fields are passed to the 'libc' ACL routines for subsequent
allocation. If the '-m' option (merge existing ACL with a new one) is
specified, then 'set_acl_mask()' will be called and passed one of the
two ACLs. This function, in turn, replaces this given ACL structure by
another, freshly allocated. However, the pointer in the 'acl' variable
in the caller is not updated. The caller then proceeds to free the ACL,
incurring in a double free condition.
