Arguments with whitespaces are easy to fix, but in combination with
shell metachars that should not be evaluated it is very hard, probably
impossible to fix without going to a line-oriented solution.
Next time I will believe Henry Spencer when he says "this looks easy
to fix but isn't".
parameter that has space in it, both in getopt.c and in the manpage
example.
2) Fix the example in the manpage. The set(1) command is required to
return 0 (POSIX 1003.2, section 3.14.11), so you can't test for
getopt's exit status like the example did:
#! /bin/sh
set -- `getopt abo: $*`
if test $? != 0 # wrong, tests for set's exit status, which is
# always zero, no for getopt(1)'s.
Fixes PR bin/5845, which thought it was getopt's fault, but in fact
the manpage was wrong.
I also updated the example to be more useful and updated the BUGS
section.

Updates the manpage as well.
I've rewritten the patch as it was for 2.2.7. It can probably be put
into 3.1-STABLE as well.

time now.
For whatever reason, the kernel seems to have generated SIGIOs
previously without an initial fcntl(...,F_SETOWN), but does no longer.
This caused window(1) to wait indefinitely for input.
Also, undo rev 1.3 of wwspawn.c, it was not well-thought, and
apparently not even tested at all. The blindly (even in a nonsensical
place like the comment on top of the function) applied replacement of
vfork() by fork() totally ignored that window(1) *does* abuse the
feature of vfork() where a modification of the parent's address space
is possible (in this case, to notify the parent of an erred exec*).
Also, with vfork(), it is guaranteed that the parent is only woken up
after the exec*() happened, where the replacement by fork() made the
parent to almost always become runnable again before the child, in
which case the parent simply told `subprocess died'. Unfortunately,
working around _this_ seems to be a lot more of redesign work compared
to little gained value, so i think relying on the specifics of vfork()
is the simpler way.

Instead, treat the inability to retrieve a record from the server as a
match failure and let things take its course.
Part of the problem here is that NIS _is_ turned on, however the master
server is actually not an NIS server: it's an NIS+ server. And the client
is bound to an NIS+ replica server that's running in YP compat mode.
The code which tries to figure out of the user is local or NIS gets
confused by this.

cross compilation work in some edge cases. It also makes cross
compiling on FreeBSD other BSD's easier as well.

to "Office Location:" to disambiguate what is expected. Add a note
to the man page to indicate that the office location and office phone
fields are concatenated and printed with the heading "Office:" by
finger(1). Swap the order of the home and office phone fields in the
man page to match the order of the fields in the editor.
If any programs interact with chpass(1) and expect "Location:" instead
of "Office Location:" as the prompt, either this change will have to be
reverted or the other programs will have to be changed.

`ld ... <fudged ${LDFLAGS}>' to invoke the linker. This gets the
flags and standard library paths right without complications.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help for the X11 library paths -- cc
only appends /aout for standard library paths.
I'm not sure why we have `mvstat -z'. `sysctl vm.zone' gives more
information. OTOH, `sysctl vm.zone' shouldn't return ASCII data,
and reporting of memory use should be integrated, at least as an
option.
since it means -s (strip), and static linkage is forced correctly
anyway. Other things in ${LDFLAGS} are still bogusly passed to ld.
This only affects the aout case.
