	* nis/ypclnt.c (yp_master): Check result of strdup.
	Patch by Thorsten Kukuk.

1998-02-26  Thorsten Kukuk  <kukuk@vt.uni-paderborn.de>

	* nis/ypclnt.c: Give clnt handle after error checking free, change
	return codes to fix problems with rpc.nisd in YP mode on Ultra's.

	* misc/fstab.c: Partly rewritten to use dynamically allocated buffer.
	Patch by Joe Keane <jgk@jgk.org>.

	* misc/fstab.h (struct fstab): Change fs_type member to be const.
	* misc/fstab.c: Remove casts in fs_type assignments.

1998-02-26  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>

	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/bits/fenv.h: Correct typo.  ISO C 9X defines
	FE_TOWARDZERO and not FE_TOWARDSZERO.  Reported by H.J. Lu.
	* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/fpu/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/fpu/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/m68k/fpu/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/generic/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/alpha/fpu/bits/fenv.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/fesetenv.c (fesetenv): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/test-arith.c (main): Likewise.

1998-02-25  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/bits/mathinline.h: Also fix i386 versions of
	the comparison macros.

1998-02-21 20:14  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.org>

	* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_log2.c (ln2): Added.
	(__log2): Fixed return values.
	* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_log2f.c: Likewise.

1998-02-25  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* math/math.h (isunordered): Rename local variables to ensure
	correct code.  Reported by HJ Lu.

1998-02-25 10:34  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* sysdpes/i386/fpu/bits/mathinline.h (isgreater, isgreaterequal,
	isless, islessequal, islessgreater, isunordered): Fix syntax for
	fucompip instruction.
	(isless, islessequal): Fix logic.

1998-02-21  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>

List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
----------------------------------------------
Time-stamp: <1998-02-26T09:19:15-0800 drepper>
This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl
I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
reported before by looking through the database. To make the information
in this database as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
`glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc. Before reporting
a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of problematic
situations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severity: [ *] to [***]
[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
[ *] 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]
[ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
[PR libc/140]
[ *] The localedef program should not generate errors if for categories
which are not used for the output there are characters referenced
which are not defined in the charmap.
[PR libc/229]
[ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does
not support netgroups and wildcards (+).
[ *] When assembling a locale definition, that uses the "copy"
directive, with localedef, not only the copied category is
checked for errors, but the whole file containing the same
category.
[PR libc/207]
[ *] The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for
-0.5).
[ *] The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
non-integral second parameters.
[ *] _IO_getline can loop forever, at least with C++
[PR libc/332]
