is still broken - it doesn't restore the floating point state.
2.2-BETA users should disable it using npx0 flags 0x04 the same as
2.2-ALPHA users should have.
- getpwent:
o adjunctbuf should be NUL terminated after copying
o _pw_breakout_yp() needs to know the length of the buffer returned
from YP so it can properly NUL terminate its local buffer.
- getgrent:
o YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and NUL terminated.
(Previously they were hardcoded to 1024 bytes.)
- getnetgrent:
o YP data should be copied with snprintf(), not sprintf()
These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.
- getservent:
o put _yp_check() proto under #ifdef YP where it belongs
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying
- gethostbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long
- getnetbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying
- ether_addr:
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying (in this case it's BUFSIZ + 2 bytes,
but it happens that BUFSIZ == YPMAXRECORD.
- gethostbydns:
o nuke stray 'return(NULL)' in __dns_getanswer() (harmless but looks silly)
These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.
able to be exploited, or might not. However, it is better to be safe
than sorry.
Definitely a 2.2 fix, and a -stable if there is someone to commit it.

Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.
Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes. I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

line length limit anymore - now 500 members or 5000 members are
possible. For security group lines longer than 256K will be count as
an error. 256K should be enough for 65536 users.
Support comments (lines that begin with a #) if compiled with
option -DGROUP_IGNORE_COMMENTS.
Fortunately it seems that all system utilities which use getgrent()
functions are dynamically linked executables. So you need only
rebuild libc.so.3.0 if you want this change. Note: if you have
an old X server which depend on libc.so.2.* you should rebuild
libc.so.2.* too.
Not a 2.2 candidate.
successful write. Only do it for the IO_SYNC case (like ufs). On
one of my systems, this speeds up `iozone 24 512' from 32K/sec
(1/128 as fast as ufs) to 2.8MB/sec (7/10 as fast as ufs).
