Steven Parkes reported that `id -G $USER` went into an infinite loop
on Darwin systems for users in more than 10 groups:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264007
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c (mgetgroups): Work around buggy getgrouplist
implementations that don't update the required size correctly,
by doubling the result buffer and retrying. Also return the
parameter updated by getgrouplist rather than its return value,
as the documentation doesn't actually state the number of groups
stored is returned by getgrouplist.

Suggestion from Steven Schveighoffer at:
http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6797
to greatly speed up the random passes done by shred.

pseudorandom generator, rather than reading /dev/urandom

Reported by Samuel Thibault and Stéphane Raimbault, as the glibc fr_FR
locale has recently changed to use the official but variable width
abbreviated month names. Other glibc locales also have variable widths.

* gl/lib/mbsalign.c: A new module to align and truncate a
string in a specified number of screen cells, while handling
multi-byte characters appropriately.
* gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Ditto
* gl/modules/mbsalign: Ditto
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module
* src/ls.c (abmon_init): New function, precompute the abbreviated
months aligned left in a minimum width column <= 5 screen cells.
(align_nstrftime): New function, replace the first %b in the
format specification to strftime with the precomputed month string.
Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17%
on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function
using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf
instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively
(i.e. a net gain of 14% rather than 17%).
* tests/ls/abmon-align: A new test to test ls alignment for
various formats and locales

Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...".
* NEWS: Mention the bugfix.
* src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing
of processed data before a blocking read() is done.

This is following on from this change:
[02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...]
which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times,
but also capped it at 32KiB.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that
returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was
seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use
to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead.

Inspired by a patch from C de-Avillez.

Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/...
rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure.
The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change
[3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases]
that introduced the bug:
- remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);
+ if (!x->hard_link)
+ remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);
However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap
test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs.
And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it.
Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino
needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary
to record the pair only for the first directory created for each
source command-line argument.
I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass
when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note
the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same
command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail.
That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self
failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying
other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually)
with the unwanted recursion.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of
whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its
first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this
is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter.
(copy_dir, copy): Update callers.
(copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop.
* tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above.

Following are the before and after operations for seekable files,
for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch:
skip beyond end of file
before: immediately exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0);
skip > max file size
before: read whole file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > max file size
before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
skip > OFF_T_MAX
before: read whole device/file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1);
seek > OFF_T_MAX
before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
skip > device size
before: read whole device and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);

cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily.
cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the
source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the
