Note our implementation is not thread nor async-cancel safe.
Explicitely note atof() does not check nor report errors.
Note that strtod() should be used instead.
Also add C99 conformity status plus clarification that C99 leaves the
flushing of unwritten data, closure of open streams, and removal of
temporary files to the implementation.
This is a first cut, but enough to help people interested in using it
further than before.
More text coming to illustrate use and provide more details.

my last version of this work due to HDD crash, but this version cleanly
passed all POSIX and SuSv2 tests. I am working on testing scripts which
should test this implementation against all locales and surely more fixes
will come soon.

Cleanup 'cutoff' calculation, remove unneded casts. Misc. cleanup to

Implement EINVAL reaction per POSIX, document it in manpage, corresponding
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.

Even better formula from random() could not be intetgrated because rand_r()

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread

pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
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.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe

The recent problems with sshd were due to sshd reassigning
`environ' when setenv() thinks it owns it. setenv() subsequently
realloc()s the new version of environ and *boom*
in my tree for a long time. bde reviewed this once upon a time and
said it was OK, iirc. This also obviates the need to put ? in the
optstring argument to preclude the extra warning message which some
people think confuses users. When I made my getopt cleanups of a long
time ago, this was the compromise reached. I just neglected to commit
it until now.
just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

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
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...
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.

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
for use with kernel threads, but until a thread is created, we don't
really want to bother locking things. The variable was added here
because the crt code calls exit(main()) so all programs will get the
variable.
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.
