6 This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
7 make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
8 of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
10 Severity: [ *] to [***]
13 [ **] For GNU libc on Linux, there is still no solution for the UTMP
15 [Among others: PR libc/39]
17 [ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
19 [ **] The `cbrtl' function is inaccurate. The algorithm used for `double'
20 and `float' is not usable.
22 [ **] Not really a bug, but it could lead to such:
23 The RPC code is ugly ugly ugly. It's more or less verbatim taken
24 from Sun's code and therefore mostly lacks complete prototypes and
25 (more important) the use of `const'. It *definitely* needs to be
28 [ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
31 [ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
35 [ *] On Linux, the <linux/posix_types.h> is not clean enough to satisfy
36 the C++ namespace rules. Declaring `struct fd_set' also makes
37 `fd_set' available in the global namespace which conflicts with
38 the definition of `fd_set' in glibc.
41 [ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
42 NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
43 is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
44 symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
