 Page: 6  Line: 108  Section: 1.4.3


 Problem:
 It appears that this table is out of order, in that sections
 addressed are issue 4 (1.4), then issue 5, then issue 4 version 2 (sec 1.4.4
 on p 8).

 Action:
 Fix order.

 []                                                  Fri Nov 26, 11:21am +0100

 Page: 320  Line: 9980  Section: omitted


 Problem:
 The fprintf text in line 9980 contradicts the text in line 9982.

 The fprintf page says:

 an optional l (ell) specifying that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X
 conversion character applies to a type long int or unsigned long int
 argument; an optional l (ell) specifying that a following n conversion
 character applies to a pointer to a type long int argument; ...
 If an h, l, or L appears with any other conversion character,
 the behavior is undefined.

 An optional l specifying that a following c conversion character
 applies to a wint_t argument; an optional l specifying that a following
 s conversion character applies to a pointer to a wchar_t argument.


 there are two flaws here:
 (i) the second fragment does not qualify l with `(ell)'
 (ii) the second fragment contradicts the last sentence of the first.

 Action:
 Move lines 9982-9984 to after the period in line 9980.
 Add `(ell)' after each of the two occurrences of `l'.

 Page: 713  Line: 22704-22707  Section: pthread_atfork()


 Problem:
 I'm not fond of this solution because, while it continues to support
 applications that followed the interpretation, it fails to support applications
 that do the reasonable thing. We should allow either application behavior.

 Action:
 Change synopsis to:
 Either:
         #include <sys/types.h>
         #include <unistd.h>
 or:
         #include <pthread.h>

 See also prindle.xbd-2 which requests that this function be also prototyped in
 <pthread.h>.
