	(parse_line): #define to _nss_files_parse_pwent and

	NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN for ERANGE error.

	of null, so next round returns null again instead of bombing.  Fix

	fgetpwent.c already defines it.
	* nss/nss_files/files-grp.c: Likewise.

	* elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object): Use any object with matching l_name
	as well as any matching with l_libname.  Fix DT_SONAME lookup to use
	string table properly.

	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Set _dl_rtld_map.l_name from _dl_argv[0] when
	invoked directly, and l_libname from that if PT_INTERP missing.
	Set l_name from l_libname only if not set from argv.

	* time/europe, time/northamerica: Updated from ADO 96i.

	* stdio-common/tst-ungetc.c: Include unistd.h.

-# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years

-# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.

-# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of

-# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
-# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
-# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
-# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
-# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
-#
-# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
-# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
-# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
-# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
-# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
-# since sometime in the 1960s.
-#
-# Here's how I would summarize things.  Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST

+# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
+# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
+# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
+# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
+
+# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (November 6, 1992):
+# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
+# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
+# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
+# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
+#
+# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
+# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
+# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
+# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
+#
+# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
+# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
+# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
+# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
+# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
+# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
+# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
+#
+# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
+# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
+# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
+# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
+# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
+# since sometime in the 1960s.
