in uu_lock(). Add uu_lockerr() for turning the results of
uu_lock into something printable. Remove bogus section in man page
about race conditions allowing both processes to get the lock.
Include libutil.h and use uu_lock() correctly where it should.

it's internal malloc() implementation to try and avoid overstepping it's
resource limits (yuk!). Remain using libc's malloc(), but check the
resource limits right before trying to malloc the ramdisk space and leave
some spare memory for libc. In Andrey's words, the internal malloc
was "true evil".. Among it's sins is it's ability to allocate less memory
than asked for and still return success. stdio would just love that. :-)

passes on the status across fork/exec.
The previous version had some typos, referred to itself as link(2) in
one place :-), and didn't really match openbsd's implementation either.
Now that I've mentioned typos, hopefully our Typo Police and Xref Police
will be gentle with me. :-)
This is valueable for library code which needs to be able to find out
whether the current process is or *was* set[ug]id at some point in the
past, and may have a "tainted" execution environment. This is especially
a problem with the trend to immediately revoke privs at startup and regain
them for critical sections. One problem with this is that if a cracker
is able to compromise the program while it's still got a saved id, the
cracker can direct the program to regain the privs. Another problem is
that the user may be able to affect the program in some other way (eg:
setting resolver host aliases) and the library code needs to know when it
should disable these sorts of features.

Inspired by: OpenBSD (but with a different implementation)
that allows traditional BSD setuid/setgid behavior.
The only visible difference should be that a non-root setuid program
(eg: inn's "rnews" program) that is setuid to news, can completely
"become" uid news. (ie: setuid(geteuid()) This was allowed in
traditional 4.2/4.3BSD and is now "blessed" by Posix as a special
case of "appropriate privilige".
Also, be much more careful with the P_SUGID flag so that we can use it
for issetugid() - only set it if something changed.

vector except for the egid in groups[0]. There is a risk that programs
that come from SYSV/Linux that expect this to work and don't check for
error returns may accidently pass root's groups on to child processes.
We now do what is least suprising (to non BSD programs/programmers) in
this scenario, and nothing is changed for programs written with BSD groups
rules in mind.

to removing the connection from the queue. The problem here is that
falloc() may block and this would allow another process to accept the
connection instead. If this happens to leave the queue empty, then the
system will panic with an "accept: nothing queued".
Also changed a wakeup() to a wakeup_one() to avoid the "thundering herd"
problem on new connections in Apache (or any other application that has
multiple processes blocked in accept() for the same socket).

of users not being able to delete their symlinks from /tmp once and for
all.
Symlinks do not have modes though, they are accessable to everything that
can read the directory (as before). They are made to show this fact at
lstat time (they appear as mode 0777 always, since that's how the the
lookup routines in the kernel treat them).
More commits will follow, eg: add a real lchown() syscall and man pages.

stops regular files with unrepresentable rdevs from being rejected
and makes the output independent of unpreservable metadata.
Don't output a file if the major, minor or totality of its rdev would be
truncated. Print a message about the skipped files to stderr but don't
report the error in the exit status. cpio's abysmal error handling doesn't
allow continuing after an error, and the rdev checks had to be misplaced
to avoid the problem of returning an error code from routines that return
void.
Minor numbers are limited to 21 bits in pax's ustar format and to 18
bits in archives created by gnu tar (gnu tar wastes 3 bits for padding).
pax's and cpio's ustar format is incompatible with gnu tar's ustar
format for other reasons (see cpio/README).
