	    List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
	    ----------------------------------------------

Time-stamp: <1997-03-20T02:33:37+0100 drepper>

This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of.  Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here.  I you can fix one
of these bugs I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.

Severity: [  *] to [***]


[***]  Profiling currently does not work with programs using NSS.

[***]  At least on Linux/Alpha, there seem to be problems with dynamically
       loading NSS modules in certain situations.
       [PR libc/137]

[ **]  For GNU libc on Linux, there is still no solution for the UTMP
       problem.
       [Among others: PR libc/39]

[ **]  There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.

[ **]  The `cbrtl' function is inaccurate.  The algorithm used for `double'
       and `float' is not usable.

[ **]  Not really a bug, but it could lead to such:
       The RPC code is ugly ugly ugly.  It's more or less verbatim taken
       from Sun's code and therefore mostly lacks complete prototypes and
       (more important) the use of `const'.  It *definitely* needs to be
       cleaned.

[  *]  The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
       to be the best.

[  *]  The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
       flag was given.
       [PR libc/72]
