I'm confused. So we're going to permanently break compatibility for any apps built on 6.3 to work on 6.2 because of a brief transgression by ache? I'm sure I'm just slow and I'm missing something so maybe you could fill me in.

This change satisfies existing dependencies in binaries built in the window in which the symbol was required, but doesn't introduce a dependency for new binaries as the symbol will not be required for them still.

  Modified files:        (Branch: RELENG_6_3)
    lib/libc/locale      none.c
  Log:
  - Put __mb_sb_limit symbol back to libc to ease users' pain when upgrading
    their 6-STABLE system. This is necessary because we have this symbol
    exported between 20071025 and 20071030. Binaries built during that perios
    will be broken after 602115.
