Update.

1998-03-13 16:55  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* string/tester.c (test_strpbrk): Add more strpbrk tests.
	(test_strsep): Likewise.  Correct horrible bugs.

	* string/bits/string2.h (strcspn): Optimize also reject string of
	length 2 and 3.
	(strspn): Likewise.
	(strpbrk): Likewise.
	(strsep): Likewise.  Correct bug with successive separators and
	separators at the end of the string.
	* sysdeps/generic/strsep.c: Correct bug with successive separators
	and separators at the end of the string.

1998-03-13 13:11  Tim Waugh  <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>

	* posix/wordexp.c (parse_param): Positional parameters ($1, $2
	etc) now handled, as well as $$ (pid).

	* posix/Makefile (tests): Execute wordexp-test.sh for `make check'.
	(distribute): Add wordexp-tst.sh.

	* posix/wordexp-tst.sh: New file.

	* posix/wordexp.c (parse_param): $# (or ${#}) expands to the
	number of positional parameters.  Renamed substitute_length to
	seen_hash.
	Don't free(env) is env is NULL.

1998-03-13 16:50  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* libc.map: Add pthread_attr_init to GLIBC_2.1.

1998-03-13 15:01  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* gmon/gmon.c: Allow GMON_OUT_PREFIX variable to specify filename
	for output file replacing gmon.out.
	Patch by Dean Gaudet <dgaudet@arctic.org>.

1998-03-12  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* elf/dl-misc.c (_dl_debug_message): Fix printing of pid.  Clean
	up namespace.  Optimize finding end of line.

1998-03-12  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Ignore LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT if running
	securely.  Optimized.
	(process_dl_debug): Add ':' to list of separators.  Optimized.
