Change first MAXPATHLEN to more standard PATH_MAX
Change second MAXPATHLEN to 1024 (it is temp buffer not related)
Change comment to reflect that.
Suggested by: bde
just use MAXPATHLEN. It prevents potential buffer overflow with other
malloc implementations.

return the buffer immediately. This will permit ssh and/or PAM logins

The (potential) underlying problem is still under investigation.
Point hat to: me
different from what has been offered in libc_r (the one spotted in the
original PR which is found in libthr has already been removed by David's
commit, which is rev. 1.44 of lib/libthr/thread/thr_private.h):
- Use POSIX standard prototype for ttyname_r, which is,
int ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t);
Instead of:
char *ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t);
This is to conform IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition [1].
- Since we need to use standard errno for return code, include
errno.h in ttyname.c
- Update ttyname(3) implementation according to reflect the API
change.
- Document new ttyname_r(3) behavior
- Since we already make use of a thread local storage for
ttyname(3), remove the BUGS section.
- Remove conflicting ttyname_r related declarations found in libc_r.
Hopefully this change should not have changed the API/ABI, as the ttyname_r
symbol was never introduced before the last unistd.h change which happens a
couple of days before.

- Sort and separate includes as described in style(9)
- ANSIfy the function defination
- Use const for the traversing iterator

have a better chance of compiling.
I have intentionally omitted errnos that are only good for STREAMS,
since apps that use STREAMS won't compile anyway. The exception is
EPROTO, which was apparently intended for STREAMS, but worth having

easier to add meaningful cross-references and extend some of the
descriptions.

- Although ldexp() is in libc for backwards compatibility, ldexpf() is
in its proper place in libm. Document both as being in libm.
- The ldexp() and ldexpf() functions conform to C99.

scalbn() implementation from libm. (The two functions are defined to
be identical, but ldexp() lives in libc for backwards compatibility.)
The old ldexp() implementation...
- was more complicated than this one
- set errno instead of raising FP exceptions
- got some corner cases wrong
(e.g. ldexp(1.0, 2000) in round-to-zero mode)
The new implementation lives in libc/gen instead of
libc/$MACHINE_ARCH/gen, since we don't need N copies of a
machine-independent file. The amd64 and i386 platforms
retain their fast and correct MD implementations and
override this one.
