- List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
- ----------------------------------------------
-
-Time-stamp: <2007-10-27 18:37:51 drepper>
-
-This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
-make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
-of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
-
-Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
-GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
-
- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
-
-I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was
-not reported before by looking through the database. Before reporting
-a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of
-problematic situations.

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Severity: [ *] to [***]
-
-[ **] Closing shared objects in statically linked binaries most of the
- times leads to crashes during the dlopen(). Hard to fix.
-
-[ **] The RPC code is not 64 bit clean. This is getting slowly fixed
- but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha.
-
-[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
- to be the best.
-
-[ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
- NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
- is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
- symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
- [PR libc/140]
-
-[ *] The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for
- -0.5).
-
-[ *] The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
- non-integral second parameters.
-
-[ *] Several (most?) collation specifications are broken. The code which
- is currently there is in most cases inherited from the originial
- author (in case there is a LC_COLLATE specification in the locale
- file) or is defined using the default (if iso14651_t1 is included).
-
- In any case we are missing information to correct the specification.
- If you find the specification for your language be faulty please
- send a report with instruction on what to fix. You don't have to
- fix the specification yourself.
-
- The way it finally should look like (if the generic specification
- is not correct) can be seen in the sv_SE file. Quite a few changes
- on top of the generic specification can be made without duplication
- of the whole LC_COLLATE description.
-
-[ *] Some of the functions which also handled IPv6 are currently broken.
- IPv6 and IPv4 lookups occasionally happen when not needed. This
- happens in getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(). IPv4 handling of
- these functions is OK though and there are patches available to fix
- the IPv6 code as well.
