* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Fix logic bug that led to
unwarranted failure of "split -n l/2 /dev/zero" on NetBSD 5.1.
The same would happen when splitting a growing file, where
open/lseek-end gives one size, but by the time we read, there
is more data available.
(bytes_chunk_extract): Likewise.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
* tests/split/l-chunk: The latter case was not exercised.
Add code to do that.
Bug introduced with the chunk-selecting feature in v8.7-25-gbe10739.

(df): Reword entry, from Pádraig Brady.

On systems with recent kernel/tools, a symlink from /etc/mtab to
/proc/mounts, and a by-UUID mount (i.e., soon, nearly everyone),
you will see something like the following when running "df -hT":
(this has been truncated to fit in a width-limited ChangeLog file)
Filesystem Type Siz...
rootfs rootfs 11G
udev devtmpfs 3.8G
tmpfs tmpfs 774M
/dev/disk/by-uuid/828fc648-9f30-43d8-a0b1-f7096a2edb66 ext4 11G
tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G
/dev/sda2 ext3 494M
/dev/sda5 ext4 12G
/dev/sda6 ext4 9.9G
Contrast that with what we're used to seeing (modulo the
two entries mounted on "/", which is a separate problem):
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs rootfs 11G 1.9G 8.0G 19% /
udev devtmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 774M 376K 774M 1% /run
/dev/sda3 ext4 11G 1.9G 8.0G 19% /
tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 8.0K 1.6G 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda2 ext3 494M 78M 392M 17% /boot
/dev/sda5 ext4 12G 7.6G 3.7G 68% /usr
/dev/sda6 ext4 9.9G 6.6G 2.8G 71% /var
When that long /dev/disk/by-uuid/... name is merely a symlink
to a much shorter (and often more useful) device name like
"/dev/sda3", and when it's part of a listing of all file systems,
I would much prefer to see only the latter. Similarly, when using
an encrypted root file system, you would see a name like
/dev/mapper/luks-828fc648-9f30-43d8-a0b1-f7196a2edb66 pointing
to say, /dev/dm-0, I prefer the shorter name.
I.e., if I explicitly run
"df -hT /dev/disk/by-uuid/828fc648-9f30-43d8-a0b1-f7096a2edb66",
then, it's fine -- and expected -- to print to the long name.
It was explicitly given. However, with no non-option argument,
df should print the shorter name. Note that performing this
translation at a lower level (via a change to gnulib's mountlist.c)
would make it impossible to distinguish those two cases.
* src/df.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
(get_dev): Add a parameter, telling when we're in process-all-
mount-points mode; update all callers. When true, resolve
UUID-suffixed symlinks.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.

This program is compatible with other realpath(1)
implementations, and also incorporates relpath like support,

* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.

Before, we would use inotify in that case, which would work as long
as updates were taking place locally, but not at all when remote.
Move hard-coded list of known remote FS types into a more
maintainable table in stat.c, alongside the list of FS
names and magic numbers. Generate a new is_local_fs_type function.
* src/Makefile.am (fs-is-local.h): New rule, generated file.
* src/extract-magic: Revamp to parse local/remote keyword after
each magic number in src/stat.c's case statements.
Accept new --local option.
* src/.gitignore: Ignore the generated fs-is-local.h.
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY]: Include fs-is-local.h.
(fremote) [HAVE_INOTIFY]: Use the new function in place of
the switch stmt with hard-coded list of FS types.
Emit a warning when processing a file on a file system of unknown type.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.

This fixes Bug#10293, which I guess was introduced in commit
95c948b06a dated 2003-10-02.

systems if -x is given.

Starting with commit adc30a83, when using --color, ls inhibited
interrupts to avoid corrupting the state of an output terminal.
However, for very large directories, that inhibition rendered ls
uninterruptible for too long, including a potentially long period
even before any output is generated.
* src/ls.c: Two phases of processing are time-consuming enough that
they can provoke this: the readdir loop and the printing loop. The
printing was supposed to be covered by a call to process_signals in
(print_name_with_quoting): ... but that call was mistakenly guarded
by a condition that might be false for many or even all files being
processed. Call process_signals unconditionally.
(print_dir): Also call process_signals in the readdir loop.

Using ls -l on an SELinux-enabled system would leak one SELinux
context string per non-empty-directory command-line argument.
* src/ls.c (free_ent): New function, factored out of...
(clear_files): ...here. Use it.
(extract_dirs_from_files): Call free_ent (f), rather than simply
free (f->name). The latter failed to free the possibly-malloc'd
linkname and scontext members, and thus could leak one of those
strings per command-line argument.
* THANKS.in: Update.

Because tail's fremote function did not designate GPFS as

These commands would fail to terminate:
yes -- -nan | head -156903 | sort -g > /dev/null
echo nan > F; sort -m -g F F
That can happen with any strtold implementation that includes
uninitialized data in its return value. The problem arises in the
mergefps function when bubble-sorting the two or more lines, each
from one of the input streams being merged: compare(a,b) returns 64,
yet compare(b,a) also returns a positive value. With a broken
comparison function like that, the bubble sort never terminates.
Why do the long-double bit strings corresponding to two identical
"nan" strings not compare equal? Because some parts of the result
are uninitialized and thus depend on the state of the stack.
For more details, see http://bugs.gnu.org/9612.

On some systems like glibc on GNU/kFreeBSD, a thread is
implicitly created when timer_settime() is used.
This breaks our scheme to ignore signals we've
sent ourselves.

ignore signals we've sent ourselves, to a more robust
but perhaps limited scheme of ignoring all signals of
a certain type after we've sent that signal to the job.

* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would
return early once it found that the destination is not older than the
source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping.
That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the
destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links
(perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link
per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists
in the destination tree.

The following dropped the space from the first field
printf "1234567 \t1\n" | unexpand -a
Note POSIX says that spaces should not precede tabs.

So we enforce those rules too, with this change.
