Well it is fixed in my local source tree, but since FreeBSD 4.x is still the only FreeBSD version stable enough for me (see showstoppers.html), I'm still bound to libc_r and whether you want to deprecate it in -CURRENT or not is none of my concern. Well, in fact I'm for it, since KSE is a very suitable replacement indeed. Still, *repeating* that same "deprecated!" response over and over does not help anyone on FreeBSD 4.x. <rant> So: I have a fix for the bug in 4.x. If you don't want it fixed, close the PR and don't do anything about it, otherwise, let someone who cares about it answer my mail, as I asked for in the first place: "Could someone still interested in libc_r have a look at it ?" </rant> Marc --Fba/0zbH8Xs+Fj9o Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDXM+BezjnobFOgrERAivIAJ491dZ/iYasl/PpJ8hTZ5MPYG1QegCeP5oK ER5Nv9qZZr8hxNcyWXn87g0= =8nCJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Fba/0zbH8Xs+Fj9o--
