takes an int arg and is prototyped in <string.h>. It has the opposite
interface botches to psignal(3) which takes a bogus unsigned arg but is
prototyped in the right place.
This is not the last of the interface problems for strsignal(). We
obtained it from NetBSD, but NetBSD has moved its prototype to
<unistd.h>. strsignal() should return const char *, but it returns
char * for historical reasons. NetBSD declares it as returning
__aconst char, where __aconst is normally empty but can be set to
`const' to give better error checking. glibc-2.1.1 prototypes
strsignal() in <string.h>.
lobotomized environment, say booted from a floppy with no /etc full

This might fix sysinstall.

Removed vlimit.3 and vtimes.3. Removed vlimit.c and vtimes.c from
the "MISSING" list. These were old variants of get/setrlimit() and
getrusage(), respectively, and were never implemented in FreeBSD.
vlimit.3 referred to <sys/vlimit.h> which was removed recently.
vtimes.3 referred to <sys/vtimes.h> which never existed in FreeBSD.

This supports cancellation in the linuxthreads port. In the long run,
a much more comprehensive solution will necessitate more dramatic changes
to libc symbol naming, and these aliases will probably need modification
at that time.
MAN8+= rstat_svc.8
The file it talks about doesn't exist on FreeBSD, so there's no point in
installing the manual page. There was already a comment to this effect in
this file, but the entry hadn't been commented out.
rstat.1 and rstat_svc.8 can probably actually be removed.

This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory. The
system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
will still be fully coherent with the filesystem. Modifications made
by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
unaffected. The feature works on a page-granularity basis.
MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

is good for... :-)), I discovered that part of the change when mkstemps()
was brought in was missed - it was missing the termination case to make
sure it doesn't walk into the suffix. This isn't the same code OpenBSD
has, I think this is a little better as we terminate the loop in a better
spot.
Discuss in the BUGS section of the manpage, problems involved with
