I use it commercially. I have products that use libc_r exclusively, even for non-threaded applications. I don't claim that libc_r contains fully re-entrant functions. Much of libc needs to be re-written to provide this. The number of global and static variables is a pain. > > So I should go ahead and do some man page frobbing?
