for the DT_IA64_PLT_RESERVE dynamic table entry. When a shared object
does not have any PLT relocations, the linker apparently doesn't find
it necessary to actually reserve the space for the BOR (Bind On
Reference) entries as pointed to by the DTE. As a result, relocatable
data in the PLT was overwritten, causing some unexpected control flow
with annoyingly predictable outcome: coredump.
To reproduce:
% echo 'int main() { return 0; }' > foo.c
% cc -o foo foo.c -lxpg4
o check getaddrinfo(3) return value, not result pointer
o getaddrinfo(3) returns int, not pointer

o Remove the race between stat(2) & fopen(3) when creating
a unique file.
o Improve bound checking when generating a unique name from
a given pathname.
o Ignore REST marker on APPE. No RFC specifies this case,
but the idea of resuming APPE's implies this.
o By default, deny upload resumes and appends by anonymous users.
Previously these commands were translated to STOU silently,
which led to broken files on server without any notification
to the user.
o Add an option, -m, to allow anonymous users to modify
existing files (e.g., to resume uploads) if filesystem
permissions permit.

objects' reference counts. This function is called by the atexit
mechanism at program shutdown. I don't think the locking is necessary
here. It caused OpenOffice builds to hang more often than not.
Credit to Martin Blapp and Matt Dillon for helping to diagnose this
problem and for testing the fix.
Earlier, a decimal number (e.g., 890) could be passed
for mode, leading to dangerous permissions set:
-1, that is, 07777.

Thus lines of any length can be handled, unlike before.
Don't assume that each line read from the files ends with a newline.
As a side effect in inithosts(), don't use automatic buffer at all,
utilize malloc(3) when getting local host name instead.

They provided little benefit (if any) and they caused some problems
in OpenOffice, at least in post-KSE -current and perhaps in other
environments too. The nanosleep calls prevented the profiling timer
from advancing during the spinloops, thereby preventing the thread
scheduler from ever pre-empting the spinning thread. Alexander
Kabaev diagnosed this problem, Martin Blapp helped with testing,
and Matt Dillon provided some helpful suggestions.
This is a short-term fix for a larger problem. The use of spinlocking
isn't guaranteed to work in all cases. For example, if the spinning
thread has higher priority than all other threads, it may never be
pre-empted, and the thread holding the lock may never progress far
enough to release the lock. On the other hand, spinlocking is the
only locking that can work with an arbitrary unknown threads package.
I have some ideas for a much better fix in the longer term. It
would eliminate all locking inside the dynamic linker by making it
safe for symbol lookups and lazy binding to proceed in parallel
with a call to dlopen or dlclose. This means that the only mutual
exclusion needed would be to prevent multiple simultaneous calls
to dlopen and/or dlclose. That mutual exclusion could be put into
the native pthreads library. Applications using foreign threads
packages would have to make their own arrangements to ensure that
they did not have multiple threads in dlopen and/or dlclose -- a
reasonable requirement in my opinion.
