| 6 | This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please | |
| bc9f6000 UD |
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. | |

| bc9f6000 | 10 | Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the |
| 8f2ece69 | 11 | GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at |
| bc9f6000 | 12 | |

| 15 | I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not | |
| 8f2ece69 UD |
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 | |
| bc9f6000 | 18 | `glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc. |

| 23 | Severity: [ *] to [***] | |

26 | [ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads. |
| 27 | ||
| 9a0a462c UD |
28 | [ **] The libm-ieee `log2' function seems to be very inaccurate. |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | [ *] The libm-ieee `remquo' function rounds 3.0/2.0 incorrectly. | |
| 31 | ||
| c57abfa7 UD |
32 | [ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem |
| 33 | to be the best. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | [ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS | |
| 36 | flag was given. | |
| 37 | [PR libc/72] | |
| bc9f6000 | 38 | |
| bc9f6000 UD |
39 | [ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol |
| 40 | NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it | |
| 41 | is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other | |
| 42 | symbols in <linux/limits.h> available. | |
| 43 | [PR libc/140] | |
| 44 | ||
| 55c14926 UD |
45 | [ *] The localedef program should not generate errors if for categories |
| 46 | which are not used for the output there are characters referenced | |
| 47 | which are not defined in the charmap. | |
| 48 | [PR libc/229] | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | [ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does | |
| 51 | not support netgroups and wildcards (+). | |
| 52 | ||
| a5a0310d UD |
53 | [ *] When assembling a locale definition, that uses the "copy" |
| 54 | directive, with localedef, not only the copied category is | |
| 55 | checked for errors, but the whole file containing the same | |
| 56 | category. | |
| 57 | [PR libc/207] | |
