* sysdeps/mach/hurd/getcwd.c (_hurd_canonicalize_directory_name_internal): Don't deallocate DOTID & DOTDEVID until we're finished with them (we need to keep them at least until we've fetched the next level of id ports, so that mach will be able to use the same name if they're the same). Add inner_errlose: label, which deallocates DOTID & DOTDEVID and jumps to errlose, for those places where such cleanup is needed.
This directory contains the version 1.92 test release of the GNU C Library. Many bugs have been fixed since the last release. Some bugs surely remain. As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to the following configurations: alpha-dec-osf1 i[345]86-*-bsd4.3 i[345]86-*-gnu i[345]86-*-isc2.2 i[345]86-*-isc3 i[345]86-*-linux i[345]86-*-sco3.2 i[345]86-*-sco3.2v4 i[345]86-*-sysv i[345]86-*-sysv4 i[345]86-force_cpu386-none i[345]86-sequent-bsd i960-nindy960-none m68k-hp-bsd4.3 m68k-mvme135-none m68k-mvme136-none m68k-sony-newsos3 m68k-sony-newsos4 m68k-sun-sunos4 mips-dec-ultrix4 mips-sgi-irix4 sparc-sun-solaris2 sparc-sun-sunos4 Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu. The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called `glibc-1.92-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port the GNU C library. The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and not to the library bug-reporting address. The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what facilities you want it to make available. Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions.
