+       * safe-read.c (errno): Remove decl; we now assume C89 or better.
+       (safe_rw): Don't work around Tru64 bug unless the bug symptoms
+       manifest themselves.  This allows us to do proper reads and writes
+       on other hosts, e.g., "dd" with a block size greater than 2**31.
+
        * md5.c (UNALIGNED_P): Use size_t; in practice, this is just as
        good as uintptr_t in checking for alignments, and has fewer
        configuration hassles.
