+??	Why do I get messages about missing thread functions when I use
+	the librt?  I don't even use threads.
+
+{UD} In this case you probably mixed up your installation of the libc.
+The librt internally uses threads and it has implicit references to
+the thread library.  Normally these references are satisfied
+automatically but if the thread library belonging to the librt is not
+in the expected place one has to specify this place.  When using GNU
+ld it works like this:
+
+	gcc -o foo foo.c -Wl,-rpath-link=/some/other/dir -lrt
+
+The `/some/other/dir' should contain the matching thread library and
+`ld' will use the given path to find the implicitly referenced library
+while not disturbing any other link path order.

 @code{strtol} except it deals with unsigned numbers, and returns its
-value with type @code{unsigned long int}.  No @samp{+} or @samp{-} sign
-may appear before the number, but the syntax is otherwise the same as
+value with type @code{unsigned long int}.  If the number has a leading
+@samp{-} sign the negated value is returned.  The syntax is the same as
 described above for @code{strtol}.  The value returned in case of
 overflow is @code{ULONG_MAX} (@pxref{Range of Type}).
 
 Like @code{strtol} this function sets @code{errno} and returns the value
 @code{0ul} in case the value for @var{base} is not in the legal range.
-For @code{strtoul} this can happen in another situation.  In case the

-# There [was] an error in your tables for the start and end times prior to 1981.
-# The UK always used to change at 02:00 GMT. In 1981 it changed to 01:00 GMT

-#
-# I have found the default algorithm for UK Summer Time, it is in the
-# Summer Time Act 1972. Section 1 states that in the absence of an Order
-# in Council Summer Time starts at 02:00 GMT on the morning of the day
-# after the third Saturday in March, unless that day is Easter Day, in
-# which case it is the morning of the day after the second Saturday.
-# It ends at 02:00 GMT on the morning of the day after the fourth Saturday

-# [two other similar questions omitted]

-# Mr. H. Morrison: The Government, in reviewing the matter, have

-# double summer time from the beginning of April is essential to the

-# when very early services are held in many churches, it is proposed that

+# The following list attempts to show the complete history of Summer Time
+# legislation in the United Kingdom, and has quite a bit to say about
+# the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands as well.
 #
-# The ending rule here doesn't match the EC rules, which specify the fourth
-# Sunday in October for the UK and Eire. The `fourth Sunday' rule wasn't
-# followed in 1989, but then the sixth EC directive wasn't in force then
-# and I don't know what previous ones said. 1995 is the next year with
-# the 4th Sun on 22 Oct, but that year isn't covered by the UK Summer Time
-# Order or the sixth EC directive. Your Oct Sun>=23 rule matches history
-# and with things only announced for 2 years or so in advance who knows
-# what will happen.
+# Things that I have not personally seen are marked (???). Things that
+# I haven't seen but Joseph Myers has are marked (jsm). The problem
+# with finding old Orders (rather than Acts) is that nobody seems to
+# keep the actual documents themselves, not even the Government. They
+# get bound into annual volumes, which are published, but by the time
+# this happens the Orders are mainly spent as the years they refer
+# to have come and gone, so they don't get included in the annual
+# volumes.
 #
-# There are renewed rumours that the Government here will make another
-# attempt at resolving this issue, which is what prompted me to start
-# asking the Home Office and the EC about it again. The EC categorically
-# state they are not asking anybody to change timezone, they only want
-# common start/end dates. The UK Govt. seem to want to change our zone
-# and blame the resulting fuss on the EC. Me, I think we should scrap
-# summer time completely, noon is when the Sun is overhead, and that should
-# be the end of it.
-
-# From Peter Ilieve <peter@memex.co.uk> (1993-10-22):
+# Thanks are due to my learned legal friend Lorna Montgomerie, who dug out
+# the dusty old statutes, to Melanie Allison of the Ministry of Defence,
+# who provided the wartime regulations and a snippet of Hansard explaining
+# why double summer time started on a Monday in 1945 (it was Easter),
+# and to Joseph Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>, who tracked down the Orders
+# up to 1945, some of the old Acts, and the first five EC Directives.
 #
-# I now have the text of the Summer Time Act 1916, the granddaddy of them all.
-# It is headed: `An Act to provide for the Time in Great Britain and Ireland
-# being in advance of Greenwich and Dublin mean time respectively in the
-# summer months'.
+# Some definitions:
 #
-# It specifies 21 May and 1 October for 1916 (both at 02:00 GMT) and whatever
-# dates an Order in Council may specify for subsequent years.
+# Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales
+# United Kingdom: Great Britain plus Ireland (up to 1922) or Northern
+# Ireland (since 1922)
+# S.I.: Statutory Instrument, the modern name for secondary legislation
+# S.R.&O.: Statutory Rules and Orders, the older name for secondary legislation
 #
-# Section 4 states: `This act shall apply to Ireland in like manner as it
-# applies to Great Britain, with the substitution however of references
-# to Dublin mean time for references to Greenwich mean time.'
+# Unless otherwise specified, Acts and secondary legislation are assumed
+# to apply throughout the United Kingdom, but not to the Isle of Man
+# or the Channel Islands.
 #
-# Lorna, my learned legal friend who supplied it, also offers this quote
-# from Halsbury's Statutes on the extent of Acts:
+# Some of the Acts and Orders I found in various libraries, and I don't
+# have copies. When I looked at them I was looking for dates and not things
+# like whether they applied to the Bailiwick of Jersey. I will try to
+# check these documents again.
 #
-# `An Act of the United Kingdom Parliament is to be construed prima facie
-# to apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and not to any place outside.
-# [...] The expression "United Kingdom" for this purpose includes (since
-# 1922) Great Britain (ie. England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland,
-# but it does not include the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.'

 #
-# The Act doesn't say anything about Wales (or Scotland) so I would assert

-# was different.
+# Defined Greenwich mean time to be the standard time in Great Britain
+# and Dublin mean time to be the standard time in Ireland, superseding

 #
-# It also confirms the fact that Ireland followed Dublin time back then,

 #
-# I now have before me, thanks to my learned legal friend Lorna, the text of

 #
-# It says that as from 2 AM Dublin Mean Time on 1 October 1916 the time
-# for general purposes in Ireland shall be the same as the rest of Great
-# Britain (ie. GMT with the Summer Time periods specified by the Summer Time
-# Act 1916)....  As Ireland was behind GMT/BST at 02:00 DMT on 1 Oct GB would

-# - The Summer Time Order, 1992, SI 1992/1729 [SI == Statutory Instrument]
+# Came into force on 11 March 1947. Amended the Summer Time Acts, 1922 and
+# 1925 to change the dates of Summer Time and to introduce Double Summer Time
+# (although it doesn't give this, or any, name for this period of 2 hour
+# offset from GMT). Dates are given for 1947 only and are: 02:00 GMT Sunday
+# 16 March, 01:00 GMT Sunday 13 April, 01:00 GMT Sunday 10 August, and 02:00
+# Sunday 2 November. It gave a power to make Orders for subsequent years,
+# both to vary the dates and to continue Double Summer Time. It applied
+# to the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
 #
-# This specifies dates of:
-#       Start       End
-# 1993  28 March    24 October

-# `An Act of the United Kingdom Parliament is to be construed prima facie
-# to apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and not to any place outside.
-# [...] The expression "United Kingdom" for this purpose includes (since
-# 1922) Great Britain (ie. England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland,
-# but it does not include the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.'
+# - The Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland), 1954 (1954 c. 33 (N.I.)) (???)
 #
-# So, many of these measures specifically include Northern Ireland,
-# the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. None of them exclude any
-# part of the UK. The default interpretation of Acts is that they apply
-# throughout the UK.
+# I presume that section 39 of this Act is similar to section 9 of the
+# Interpretation Act, 1978 (listed below) in specifying GMT as the
+# legal time in Northern Ireland, replacing the Time (Ireland) Act, 1916.

-# Here is a revised version of my tabrules file for the perl script I sent

-# all the Acts.
-#
-# There are no changes to the dates we already have.

-# My doubt about an early start in 1967 on 18 Feb was misplaced, the Order
-# does say 18 Feb. This is an interesting case as the first Order gave a
-# different date of 7 April 1967 for the Isle of Man but this was changed
-# before it came into effect by another Order for the Isle of Man alone.
-#
-# I don't think I will be able to find any more of the earlier Orders.
-# The annual volumes for 1949--52 do not contain the various Summer Time
-# Orders. They therefore don't appear in the index. They rate a mention in
-# italics in the numerical list at the start but that is all.
-# I think what happens is that the annual volume is produced well after the
-# end of the year in question, by which time the Summer Time Order is spent.

-# The final piece of the legislative jigsaw for summer time in the UK for
-# 1995-97 is now in place.  The Summer Time Order 1994 (SI 1994/2798)
-# came into force on 16 November.  It restates the dates from the EC

-# From Peter Ilieve <peter@aldie.co.uk> (1997-08-06):
-# I now have a copy of the ... Eighth Directive 97/44/EC of the European
-# Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 1997 on summer-time arrangements.
-# It runs for 4 years, 1998--2001, and confirms the current rules of
-# last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October....
-# The directive does not apply in overseas territories of the Member States.
-# It says the Commission should produce a proposal for 2002 and beyond
-# by 1 Jan 2000 and this should be adopted by 1 Jan 2001.  I doubt that
-# this will happen though....
-# There is no mention of the French desire to abandon the whole idea.

-# The [GB-Eire] end date of 22 October [1995] conflicts with your current rule
-# of Oct Sun>=23, and the historical UK formula of Sun after 4th Sat.
-# The last time 4th Sun and Sun after 4th Sat differed was in 1989,
-# when 29 October was used.  That year was covered by a UK Summer Time Order
-# for only a single year and it looks as though there was a matching 4th EC
-# directive for just this year.  I don't have the text of the 5th EC
-# directive (for 1990--92) but my guess would be it said 4th Sun.

+#
+# - The Summer Time Act 1972 (1972 c. 6)
+#
+# This specified a reversion to normal Summer Time behaviour with a start
+# date of the day after the third Saturday in March, unless that is Easter,
+# when it is the day after the second Saturday, and an end date of the day
+# after the fourth Saturday in October. Times are at 02:00 GMT, offset is
+# 1 hour. It gives the power to make Orders to vary these dates and
+# times. This Act is still in force and is the legal authority for
+# implementing the EC Directives in the United Kingdom.
+#
+# - The Interpretation Act 1978 (1978 c. 30)
+#
+# Section 9 of this Act replaces section 1 of the Statutes (Definition of

+# - Council Directive of 22 July 1980 on summertime arrangements (80/737/EEC)

+# dates for 1981 and 1982. No agreement had been reached on end dates.
+# Only dates were given, there was no rule like `last Sunday in March'.

+# The next European Directive. Specified dates for three years, 1983 to 1985.
+# Agreement still hadn't been reached on a common end date, and wouldn't
+# be until 1994 with the appeareance of the seventh Directive with a common
+# date for 1996 and beyond, but this time the Directive gave two sets of
+# end dates. The start date was specified by rule: the last Sunday in March.
+# All times were 01:00 GMT. The end dates were given without rule, as:
+#   1983: 25 September or 23 October

+#   1985: 29 September or 27 October

+#
+# Specified start dates of the last Sunday in March and two sets of end

+# - Council Directive of 20 December 1985 amending Directive 84/634/EEC
+#   on summertime arrangements (85/582/EEC)
+#
+# This was to do with the accession of Spain and Portugal to the EEC.
+# The previous directve had used wording like `Member States belonging
+# to the zero (Greenwich) time zone' when refering to the different
+# sets of end dates. Portugal was in that time zone but was not going
+# to follow the United Kingdom and Ireland dates, so the text was reworded
+# without any change to the dates themselves.
+#
+# - Fourth Council Directive of 22 December 1987 on summertime arrangements
+#   (88/14/EEC)
+#
+# This Directive covered only a single year: 1989. My guess is that
+# this was because 1989 was one of the years when the historic United Kingdom
+# end date of the Sunday after the fourth Saturday in October differed from
+# the rule in the previous Directive of the fourth Sunday in October.
+# All times are 01:00 GMT. No rule was specified, specific dates were given:
+#   1989: 26 March to 24 September or 29 October
+#
+# - Summer Time Order, 1988 (S.I. 1988/931)
+#
+# Implemented the dates of 26 March to 29 October for 1989.
+#
+# - Fifth Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on summertime arrangements
+#   (89/47/EEC)
+#
+# Covered the three years 1990 to 1992. All times are 01:00 GMT. Gave both
+# rules (last Sunday in March, last Sunday in September or fourth Sunday
+# in October) and specific dates:
+#   1990: 25 March to 30 September or 28 October
+#   1991: 31 March to 29 September or 27 October
+#   1992: 29 March to 27 September or 25 October

+#
+# Implemented the fifth Directive using the October end dates.
+#
+# - Sixth Council Directive 92/20/EEC of 26 March 1992 on summertime
+#   arrangements
+#
+# Covered the two years 1993 and 1994. All times are 01:00 GMT. Specified

+#   1994: 27 March to 25 September or 23 October
+#
+# - Summer Time Order, 1992 (S.I. 1992/1729)
+#
+# Implemented the sixth Directive using the October end dates.
+#
+# - Seventh Directive 94/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
+#   of 30 May 1994 on summer-time arrangements
+#
+# Covered the three years 1995 to 1997. Agreement had finally been reached
+# on a common end date, to start in 1996. Both rules and dates were given.
+# The rules were the same last Sunday in March to last Sunday in September
+# or fourth Sunday in October for 1995, with the end rule changing to the

-# and ends at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday in September, except for the UK
-# and Eire where it ends at 01:00 GMT on the fourth Sunday in October.

-# but as the sixth directive was supposed to appear by 1 Jan 92 and didn't
-# arrive til March I wouldn't hold your breath.
