Bug 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell   Reopened
http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=249
We will return to bug 249 on a future call.

Bug 0000953: Alias expansion is under-specified   Was Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=953
Richard has an action to propose new wording to discuss in a future telecon.

* Current Business

Two items from previous weeks are still open:

Bug 1061: Please add memmem() (and maybe wmemmem())  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1061     


We have no problem adding this to the standard, but since this is
a new interface, we need a sponsor.

ACTION: Andrew, please assign an AI to Martin asking that the Open
Group OR as the base working group if it would be willing to sponsor
this new interface.  (Note that there are a few minor changes in
the text below (in the RATIONALE) compared to the wording provided
in the attachment to the bug report.)  It also appears that Solaris
memmem() may behave differently than all of the other implementations
when needlelen is 0 (returning NULL instead of haystack), but this
may be in a kernel version of memmem() instead of in libc.  Please
see if Solaris maintainers are willing to change to match GNU and
BSD behavior.  (Note that the BSD & GNU behavior makes memmem() and
strstr() behave the same way under this condition while Solaris
behavior makes them different.)

See note 3871 attached to the bug for details.

Bug 1063: missing specification for sh -h        OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1063

We have started on this item and need to continue at a future meeting.
