	* inet/Makefile (headers): Add aliases.h.
	(routines): Add getaliasent_r, getaliasent, getaliasname, and
	getaliasname_r.
	* aliases.h: New file.
	* inet/aliases.h: New file.
	* inet/getaliasent.c: New file.
	* inet/getaliasent_r.c: New file.
	* inet/getaliasname.c: New file.
	* inet/getaliasname_r.c: New file.
	* nss/Makefile (databases): Add alias.
	* nss/alias-lookup.c: New file.
	* nss/databases.def: Add aliases and publickey.
	* nss/nss_db/db-alias.c: New file.
	* nss/nss_files/files-alias.c: New file.

	* inet/getnetgrent_r.c (__internal_getnetgrent): Buffer length
	argument to lookup function is of type size_t.
	(innetgr): Likewise.
	* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/getXXent_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c: Likewise.

	* nss/getXXbyYY.c: Don't provide static buffer.  Resize if call
	failed because buffer was too small.
	* nss/getXXent.c: Likewise.

	* nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Correct handling of shared file.  The
	getXXent_r function now uses f[gs]etpos to get to the correct
	position.

	* nss/nss_files/files-parse.c: Indent lines for better readability.

	* malloc/obstack.c: Add new variable obstack_alloc_failed_handler
	and new function print_and_abort.  Remove all references to
	alloc_failed field.
	Add new function _obstack_memory_used.
	* malloc/obstack.h (struct obstack): Remove field alloc_field.
	Remove all references to alloc_failed field.
	Add prototype for _obstack_memory_used.

	* posix/unistd.h: Correct typo.

	* malloc/obstack.h: Add new macro `obstack_make_room'.
	* malloc/obstack.c: Add function implementation for
	`obstack_make_room'.

	Update to BIND-4.9.5-REL.
	* resolv/Banner: Set to 4.9.5-REL.
	* resolv/inet_net_pton.c: Was doing bad things to subnets and b'casts.
	* resolv/res_debug.c (__fp_nquery): Could read past end of buffer.
	(fix from BIND 8.1)

	* config.make.in: Add definition for top_absdir.
	* Makerules (make-link): Fix path to rellns-sh script.

	* posix/unistd.h: Fix comment.

	* manual/arith.texi: Fix misspellings.  Use `zero', not `null',
	when talking about numbers.
	* manual/users.texi: Likewise.
	* manual/creature.texi: Likewise.  Use @defvarx for a secondary
	description header.

Sat Nov  9 19:25:11 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* sysdeps/posix/Makefile ($(common-objpfx)mk-stdiolim): Depend on

	only in posix.

Sat Nov  9 02:06:17 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(common-objpfx)s-proto.d): Don't depend
	on $(before-compile) which hasn't been properly setup yet at this
	point.

Sat Nov  9 02:02:48 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* sysdeps/generic/sigset.h: Don't use implicit int which will
	probably require a diagnostic in the next revision of the C
	standard.
	* sysdeps/stub/lockfile.c: Likewise.

Sat Nov  9 01:57:17 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
