SIGN" instead of U+002D "HYPHEN-MINUS". This is unfortunate for two
reasons: 1) this is not the character which is actually used on the
command line, and 2) it makes it impossible to search a man page for a
specific command-line option.
This patch fixes this, but there are other unresolved issues, such as
confusion between -, \- and hy: while the latter is always (and only)
used for hyphenation, both - and \- are used for negation and
subtraction, and \- is used for command-line options and sometimes
also for parenthesis. IMHO, the correct Unicode characters are:
- hyphenation: either U+2010 or U+00AD, most likely the former (the
latter is the so-called soft hyphen, used to indicate a point at
which a text processor is allowed to hyphenate a word)
- negation and subtraction: U+2212
- parenthesis: in English, U+2214, with spaces suppressed before and
after; in some others (such as Norwegian), U+2213 with spaces
retained.
- command-line options: U+002D, because that is what is actually used
on the command line.

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Some time ago I got some reports MPSAFE TTY broke telnetd(8). Even
though it turned out to be a different problem within the TTY code, I
spotted a small issue with telnetd(8). Instead of allocating PTY's using
openpty(3) or posix_openpt(2), it used its own PTY allocation routine.
This means that telnetd(8) still uses /dev/ptyXX-style devices.
I've also increased the size of line[]. Even though 16 should be enough,
we already use 13 bytes ("/dev/pts/999", including '\0'). 32 bytes gives

This version will by default randomize the UDP query source port
(and sequence number of course) for every query.
In order to take advantage of this randomization users MUST have an
appropriate firewall configuration to allow UDP queries to be sent and
answers to be received on random ports; and users MUST NOT specify a
port number using the query-source[-v6] options.
The avoid-v[46]-udp-ports options exist for users who wish to eliminate
certain port numbers from being chosen by named for this purpose. See
the ARM Chatper 6 for more information.
Also please note, this issue applies only to UDP query ports. A random
ephemeral port is always chosen for TCP queries.
This issue applies primarily to name servers whose main purpose is to
resolve random queries (sometimes referred to as "caching" servers, or
more properly as "resolving" servers), although even an "authoritative"
name server will make some queries, primarily at startup time.
All users of BIND are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest
