coreutils-4.5.6 released

[Jim Meyering]

This is a bug-fix-only release.
There were serious problems with du.
Thanks to Dmitry V. Levin and Andreas Schwab for the quick patches
and to Nelson Beebe for reporting the du segfault so quickly.

NEWS:
* du no longer segfaults on Solaris systems (fixed heap-corrupting bug in ftw.c)
* du --exclude=FILE works once again (this was broken by the rewrite for 4.5.5)
* du no longer gets a failed assertion for certain hierarchy lay-outs
  involving hard-linked directories
* `who -r' no longer segfaults when using non-C-locale messages
* df now displays a mount point (usually `/') for non-mounted
  character-special and block files

**********************************************************************
ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-02-06  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * Version 4.5.6.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Don't return early for excluded files
        or for files whose dev/inode we've already seen.

2003-02-05  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * tests/du/exclude: New file.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add exclude.

2003-02-04  Dmitry V. Levin  <address@hidden>

        * src/who.c (print_boottime, print_deadprocs, print_runlevel):
        Fix memory allocation arithmetic.

2003-02-04  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        `df /dev/block-or-char-device-file--not-mounted' now reports
        the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
        Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
        * src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
        (show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
        If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling
        find_mount_point.  Reported by Bob Proulx.

2003-02-03  Andreas Schwab  <address@hidden>

        * tests/rm/cycle: Require non-root.
        * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.

lib/ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-02-06  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Support for pruning.
        * ftw_.h (FTW_DPRE) [enum]: New member and definition.
        (struct FTW) [skip]: New member.

        * search_.h (__restrict): Define to `restrict' or to nothing.

        * fsusage.c: Remove declaration of statfs.
        It conflicted with one from OSF/1 5.1 in <sys/mount.h>.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2003-02-05  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Fix a heap-corruption bug that affected Solaris systems.
        * ftw.c: Include <limits.h>.
        (PATH_MAX): Define to 1024, if not already defined.
        (process_entry): Allocate enough space to hold the resulting
        file name.  Don't presume that 2*dirbufsize is enough.
        (ftw_startup): Always use PATH_MAX to compute buffer size, now that
        it is guaranteed to be defined.
        Nelson Beebe reported that du would sometimes segfault on Solaris.

        * ftw.c (process_entry): When using FTW_DEPTH, call `func', the
        user-supplied callback, once for the current directory before calling
        ftw_dir, in case that part of the hierarchy should be pruned.
        `func' does that by setting `data->skip'.
        (ftw_startup): Likewise.

2003-02-03  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * c-stack.m4: Include <unistd.h>.  On some systems,
        it is required for the definition of _SC_PAGESIZE.


**********************************************************************
doc/ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-02-05  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Allow bare `POSIX' to be used on
        direntry lines.

        * coreutils.texi: Use new form of @direntry.
        Put unlink in its proper place.  Adjust wording in some
        dir entry descriptions, mainly so they fit in 80 columns.
        Don't use mark-up like @acronym{POSIX} in direntries.
        Mostly from Karl Berry.
