6 This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
7 make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
8 of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
10 Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
11 GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
13 http://www-gnats.gnu.ai.mit.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl
15 I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
16 reported before by looking through the database. To make the information
17 in this database as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
18 `glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc.

23 Severity: [ *] to [***]
26 [ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
28 [ **] The libm-ieee `log2' function seems to be very inaccurate.
30 [ *] The libm-ieee `remquo' function rounds 3.0/2.0 incorrectly.
32 [ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
35 [ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
39 [ *] On Linux, the <linux/posix_types.h> is not clean enough to satisfy
40 the C++ namespace rules. Declaring `struct fd_set' also makes
41 `fd_set' available in the global namespace which conflicts with
42 the definition of `fd_set' in glibc.
45 [ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
46 NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
47 is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
48 symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
51 [ *] The localedef program should not generate errors if for categories
52 which are not used for the output there are characters referenced
53 which are not defined in the charmap.
56 [ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does
57 not support netgroups and wildcards (+).
