>Category: bin
>Synopsis: Fix string.h to be POSIX compliant
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: freebsd-bugs
>State: open

>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD-current
>Description:
string.h defines a number of nonstandard routines unless _ANSI_SOURCE
is defined. It should also not define them if _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try compiling a POSIX-compliant program (like ETET) which includes a
replacement for a function like strcasecmp(). You'll probably get a
function prototype mismatch (mainly because FreeBSD uses const char *,
while a POSIX program is likely to declare it with char *).
>Fix:
Apply this one-line patch:
