List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)

This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. I you can fix one
of these bugs I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
Severity: [ *] to [***]
[***] Profiling currently does not work with programs using NSS.
[***] At least on Linux/Alpha, there seem to be problems with dynamically
loading NSS modules in certain situations.
[PR libc/137]
[ **] For GNU libc on Linux, there is still no solution for the UTMP
problem.
[Among others: PR libc/39]
[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
[ **] The `cbrtl' function is inaccurate. The algorithm used for `double'
and `float' is not usable.
[ **] Not really a bug, but it could lead to such:
The RPC code is ugly ugly ugly. It's more or less verbatim taken
from Sun's code and therefore mostly lacks complete prototypes and
(more important) the use of `const'. It *definitely* needs to be
cleaned.
[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
to be the best.
[ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
flag was given.
[PR libc/72]
