I'm confused now... : : If it worked, then I think Peter's stdio patch should be committed. It did and it should. However, there's the issue of 6 vs 500. Hell, peter said it could be "anything". Can it be "5.1"? I know this isn't a "minor" number in the a.out sense, but that would give us room to grow. Of course, I still say there's no reason we can't bump it by more than one each major release cycle. That's, sadly, how ELF libraries work. Keeping the same major for the release is a hold over from the a.out days and is inappropriate for ELF. The X folks learned this in the X11R4 time frame when they stopped trying to make libX11.so.R match the number after the R, except on new platforms.
