Bug 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249

David Korn has joined the call for this item. A discussion followed.
David and Chet will work on some wording. Don expects to complete
his action before the next meeting.



Bug 0000324: Clarify that ENOTDIR is for existing non-directory files Accepted as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=324

We believe that this is an editorial issue clarifying what was
always the intent of the standard. Therefore, we do not believe an
interpretation is required.

Change:
    "A component of the path prefix is not a directory"
in all of the cases listed in Note: 0000572 to:
    "A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is
    neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory".

with minor variations where the interface uses multiple path
arguments.

This item is tagged for TC1-2008

Bug 0000325: tr and m4 translit behavior when string1 has repeated characters  Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=325

The WG will be applying Option #2 from the Desired Action field;
this will both clarify that this behavior is indeed undefined in
the specification and also clean up the text for tr in this case.

This item is tagged for TC1-2008.

Bug 0000293: restricting readdir normalization of filenames 
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=293

Geoff had sent an email proposing splitting the proposed changes
as not all should be applicable to TC1-2008.
See austin-group-l:archive/latest/14611

It was agreed that Geoff would do the proposed changes 
and split off some of the changes to Bug 291.


Bug 0000326: linkat() equivalence to link() exception insufficient Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=326
This item has been tagged TC1-2008.


Bug 0000329: semop() description lists incorrect type for sem_num  Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=329

An interpretation is required.

Interpretation response

The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction
can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This
is being referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:

None.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):

Change the type of the sem_num member of the sembuf structure in
the description of semop() to "unsigned short"

At page 1840 line 58804 (EFBIG) delete "is less than 0 or".

Bug 0000328: Auto-Dependency Generation  OPEN

This item was moved to become an issue 7 bug.
