-[ **]  There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
+[ **]  Closing shared objects in statically linked binaries most of the
+       times leads to crashes during the dlopen().  Hard to fix.
 
 [ **]  The RPC code is not 64 bit clean.  This is getting slowly fixed
        but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha.

 [  *]  The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
        non-integral second parameters.
 
+[  *]  Several (most?) collation specifications are broken.  The code which
+       is currently there is in most cases inherited from the originial
+       author (in case there is a LC_COLLATE specification in the locale
+       file) or is defined using the default (if iso14651_t1 is included).
+
+       In any case we are missing information to correct the specification.
+       If you find the specification for your language be faulty please
+       send a report with instruction on what to fix.  You don't have to
+       fix the specification yourself.
+
+       The way it finally should look like (if the generic specification
+       is not correct) can be seen in the sv_SE file.  Quite a few changes
+       on top of the generic specification can be made without duplication
+       of the whole LC_COLLATE description.
+
+[  *]  Some of the functions which also handled IPv6 are currently broken.
+       IPv6 and IPv4 lookups occasionally happen when not needed.  This
+       happens in getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo().  IPv4 handling of
+       these functions is OK though and there are patches available to fix
+       the IPv6 code as well.
