Under certain circumstances, getaddrinfo(3)
returns an incorrect status to the application.
Conditions are:
1.  Address family in the hints is not specified
    (PF_UNSPEC) or 'hints' parameter is NULL.

2. a.  'servname' is specified as a name of the
       service that exists in /etc/services file.
   b.  ai_socktype and ai_protocol are not specified (0).
   c.  /etc/services lists support only for tcp
       protocol.

This fix increases the number of places of precision for long doubles to 36.
Prior to this fix, printing of long double values using the stdio printf
functions would result in a value with a maximum of 17 places of precision.

On rare occasion the C runtime library atof() and strtod() functions (and

This patch fixes hangs in threaded programs with subprocesses created 
with nfork(NULL).  Examining one of the hanging subprocesses shows that it 
has called fopen() and is waiting for the "iobptr" mutex in _findiop().
   The symptoms of the failure are:
    - the program does not terminate
    - the expected .td files (hex dumps of the input *.o files) are not 
      all created
    - some of the created subprocesses hang
    - the parent process sleeps waiting for the subprocesses to terminate

   Examining one of the hanging subprocesses shows that it has called fopen()
   and is apparently waiting for the "iobptr" mutex in _findiop().

PROBLEM: (81106, 81262) (PATCH ID: OSF510-071)
********
If the TZ environment variable is set to ":" (as in TZ=:), either on
the command line or via a putenv() call, the data for the default time
zone (GMT) is supposed to be loaded and used when time-related libc
functions (such as tzset(), mktime(), localtime(), etc) are called.
However, due to this bug, the data is not loaded and time zone
information will either be missing (as in empty time zone
abbreviations) or erroneously consistent with a previous time zone
used.  It may also lead to incorrect errors from mktime() when valid
input is given.

PROBLEM: In a multithreaded application, freeing memory allocated by malloc 
can take a long time if many allocations of (nearly) the same size have 
been made.
This patch causes malloc to adjust the way it manages memory if it notices
its lists getting long, improving free performance in these cases several
orders of magnitude.

PROBLEM: If an application sets the malloc tuning variable __sbrk_override,
malloc tries to allocate much too much memory from the kernel. This
can cause malloc to return NULL with errno set to ENOMEM prematurely.

This patch restores correct behavior that existed on pre-V5.0 releases for 
ecvt() and fcvt(). Floating point exceptions and core dumps no longer occur
when denormalized values are passed to ecvt() and fcvt(). 

This patch also resolves issues with customer applications that experienced 
floating point exceptions and core dumps when passing denormalized values to
ecvt() and fcvt() that subsequently caused INFORMIX databases to crash.

This fixes problems using scanf() routines with numeric format elements that

This patch fixes a problem in which the rpc tcp server incorrectly
tries to write to a socket that has already been closed by a client.

A system which does not have this patch will see extra tcp traffic on
the wire whenever a client closes a connection to the server.  This
superfluous write to the socket results in a SIGPIPE sent to the
server process.

  As described in the regexec.3 reference page, the regexec() routine
  compares a string to a compiled regular expression. However, a
  problem causes the regexec() routine to fail to find a match if the
  REG_NEWLINE flag of the cflags parameter is specified and the
  matching pattern in the given string happens to be after the first
  '\n' character(s). This patch fixes this matching problem.

This change fixes the situation that, when using the passwd command, a
user could be presented with a dialog such as the following:
	You are registered with the following security mechanisms

	1. BSD
	2. Synchronized update for synchronizable mechanisms

	[Default selection:  2]
	Select ONE item by number:

The circumstances which cause this to arise involve having multiple SIA
mechanisms registered on the system, with only the local SIA mechanims
(BSD or OSFC2) expecting to be listed in that dialog.  In this situation,
the other mechanisms which are present on the system have been configured
to expect only a synchronized password update.  This confusing presentation
has been corrected, so that the user now is not asked to select anything,
but a synchronized update is selected automatically.

Applications that call fread() with large amounts of data may
experience excessive I/O activity and slower performance than

a truncation error in fread().  This patch addresses these problems.

Applications which call the mktime() function with a tm struct containing a
non-negative tm_isdst (daylight savings time - DST) setting that does not
match the actual DST setting for the specified time in the given time zone

is not accurate.  This occurs only in certain time zones, and only in those
containing transitions for more than one standard (STD) or DST setting.

Applications that use the fwrite() library call may fail when the
total number of bytes to be written is larger than 2 GB.  Also, when
the total number of bytes to be written is a multiple of 4 GB,
fwrite() may indicate success, when in reality, no data has actually
been written.  This patch addresses these problems.
