Hi, I thought 2.1.1pre2 would be the last test release but I had to implement one new feature and we got a number of bug reports. So I've made 2.1.1pre3. The files glibc-2.1.1pre3.tar.gz (or .bz2) glibc-2.1.1pre2-2.1.1pre3.diff.gz (or .bz2) glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.1pre3.tar.gz (or .bz2) are now available at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/glibc ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/software/libs/glibc (where XX is your country code). Beside fixing all critical bugs reported we've fixed many memory leaks in the NIS+ code (you can now have programs running for a long time though nisplus is in your nsswitch.conf file), two new functions (getutmp, getutmpx) which are also available on Solaris, dynamic string tokens are now also allowed in dlopen() parameters and DT_NEEDED entries, LD_BIND_NOW now also influences dlopen() and a few performance optimizations (yeah, even more). Please give it a try and report back so that we finally can release 2.1.1.
