+GNU project.  There is an easy to use WWW interface is available at

+I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
+reported before by looking though the database.  To make the information
+in this data as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
+`glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc.

+[  *]  On Linux, the <linux/posix_types.h> is not clean enough to satisfy
