-	    List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
-	    ----------------------------------------------
-
-Time-stamp: <2007-10-27 18:37:51 drepper>
-
-This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of.  Please
-make sure that bugs you report are not listed here.  If you can fix one
-of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
-
-Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
-GNU project.  There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
-
-       http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
-
-I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was
-not reported before by looking through the database. Before reporting
-a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of
-problematic situations.

-
-Severity: [  *] to [***]
-
-[ **]  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 precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
-       to be the best.
-
-[  *]  On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
-       NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file.  In glibc it
-       is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
-       symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
-       [PR libc/140]
-
-[  *]  The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for
-       -0.5).
-
-[  *]  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.
