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.org: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. Before reporting
19 a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of problematic

42 symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
