grep + zlib has several advantages:
- the shell script zgrep(1) will be basically a one line
exec grep -Z "$@"
- no shell script, no bugs. The current zgrep implementations
have many bugs and some grep options are no supported.
- no shell script, no security risks.
- it is a magnitude faster than a shell script
Also fixed:

Close a file descriptor only if the open call was successfully. It does

following "panic:" or "Fatal trap". `panicstr' is still printed,
although it is redundant if there is a valid message buffer and
incomplete if it contains `%'s. I think the awk command belongs
here and not in a script since a standard format with complete
messages is good for bug reports.
emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid. In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value. The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.
The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.
I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF. This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.
Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored. I will send a
patch to the xemacs maintainers to get rid of it, and meanwhile
add a patch file to our port.
things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed. This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them. Until now, that didn't
work. The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files. Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory. Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps. The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

Print weird floating point values better. We have to convert long

information about weird formats (everything becomes a quiet NaN),
and printf() doesn't know about different types of NaNs anyway.

ld-specific flags. LDFLAGS is really for ld-related flags for cc,
not for ld, and some flags, e.g., -Bshareable, mean completely
different things to cc and ld. Having the wrong things in LDFLAGS
also broke the standard ${PROG} target. This was kludged around
by using a special rule that depended on LDFLAGS being bogus.
Fixing `make depend' broke the special rule but fixed the standard
rule (except in the DESTDIR case, which was handled more strictly
here than elsewhere).

".p2align n" aligns to the next multiple of 2**n. Thus for FreeBSD,
it does exactly the same thing as the traditional ".align".
The old ".align" directive has different meanings in different
object formats, and even in different variants of a.out. Sometimes
is aligns to a multiple of n, and other times it aligns to a multiple
of 2**n. ".p2align" is preferable for use in assembly language
sources, since it makes them more portable to object formats other
than a.out.

2.2 candidate
library with a shared object dependency that contained alias symbols,
the linker incorrectly counted the number of symbols that would be
written, resulting in a fatal internal error. Since our libc now
contains some alias symbols (in "net/res_stubs.c"), this was
sufficient to tickle the bug: "ld -Bshareable foo.so -lc". To
fix it, I moved the accounting of alias symbols to a later point
in the processing, where it is possible to count only those symbols
that will actually be written to the output file.
This fix is well-confined to affect alias symbols only. I have
tested it with a full "make world". I am going to merge it into
-2.2 after a few more days of living with it in -current.
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries. This came up in a discussion long ago as a

provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.
