I tested your patch with the latest 4-STABLE and the latest 5-CURRENT,
and both passed my test programs that didn't work before! Of course,
the test program provided in the PR by Ueno-san also worked properly.
Attached is the patch I used for 4-STABLE.
Now Dan, do you consider sliding it into 4.3-RELEASE? The problem had
been reported, you recognized and posted a fix, and the fix looks
reasonable and indeed works. I would be great to see 4.3-RELEASE
shipped with the fork-safe libc_r.
If you are sure it's a mature fix, I'd like you to pester jkh for
approval. :)
Regards,
