Only sometimes? :-) > Now if somebody wanted to dig deep into libc and fix those in there, Well, I spent quite a lot of time last year going through libc with an amazingly stringent set of options (*) and fixing a lot of these, mainly in stdio and gen. The only response was a couple of (reasonably constructive, to be fair) critical emails, so I gave up. Since then, I've noticed a lot more have crept in :-( Bear in mind that this the kind of job people would avoid like the plague even if they were being paid for it...
