Action item review 
---------------------

ACTION AI-2005-01-01: Don Cragun to present paper on pathname resolution.
OPEN

ACTION 2007-02-06: Ulrich to research issue 15 and propose text for XSH
intro to explain directory searching, with special respect to the *at()
functions.
OPEN (Geoff has posted some mail on this, come back to this when Ulrich
has the cycles) Ulrich has also now posted some thoughts on this item.

Status
------

The ISO ballot on merging to a single part concluded and was positive. We
expect to start the 5 month FCD ballot as soon as possible. This will
mean that the September face to face will not include an ISO editing
meeting, just an Austin Group meeting.

Aardvark Bug Reports
--------------------

XCU ERN 153  OPEN

XSH ERN 195 sockopt  Accept

XSH ERN 196 fopen fd Accept

XSH ERN 197 fpathconf no limit Accept

XSH ERN 198 fprintf Accept

XSH ERN 203 regcomp Reject

The behaviour for EREs in these cases is explicitly undefined.  See 
XSH6 section 9.4.3 ERE Special Characters:

   *+?{
        The asterisk, plus-sign, question-mark, and left-brace shall
        be special except when used in a bracket expression (see RE
        Bracket Expression ). Any of the following uses produce
        undefined results:

        * If these characters appear first in an ERE, or immediately
          following a vertical-line, circumflex, or left-parenthesis

        * If a left-brace is not part of a valid interval expression

(The pertinent part is the last bullet item.)

Some implementations return an error; others just match the literal
characters.

XSH ERN 204 regcomp OPEN

we need to investigate behaviors

XSH ERN 205 A/M

Take his proposed action but reworded as below
 Add the following:
 "If more than one error occurs in processing a function call, any one
 of the possible constants may be returned, as the order of detection is
 unspecified." 


XSH ERN 210 error rules Accept
XSH ERN 211 dup of 208
XSH ERN 212 close socket Accept
