+ Remove hash table, active_dir_map, used to detect directory cycles.
+ Instead, detect them lazily with just O(1) memory.
+ Suggestion from Andi Kleen.
+
+ * src/remove.c (is_power_of_two): New function.
+ (print_nth_dir, make_active_dir_ent): Remove functions.
+ (hash_active_dir_ent, hash_compare_active_dir_ents): Likewise.
+ (remove_dir): Check for cycles here, ...
+ (rm): ... and don't check for cycles here.
+
+ * src/remove.c (rm): Call fspec_get_full_mode here, rather than
+ fspec_get_filetype_mode. We want to get the dev/ino earlier, and
+ at the same time as when we get the file type, to avoid the risk
+ that an attacker would change e.g. a directory to a symlink before
+ we record its dev/ino.
+
+ * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove intl/Makefile.
+ (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Add external arg.
+
+ * Version 4.1.9.
+
* intl/: Remove directory.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove intl.
(DISTCLEANFILES): Remove definition.

* src/remove.c (rm): Call exit with EXIT_FAILURE, not `1'.
- * Version 4.1.9.
-
* src/remove.c (rm, remove_init, remove_fini): Don't use or even
initialize the active_dir_map unless --recursive (-r) is specified.
Suggestion from Andi Kleen
- * src/remove.h (remove_init): Adjust prototype.
- * src/mv.c (do_move): Adjust caller of remove_init.
- * src/rm.c (main): Likewise.
