+        Change "should not overlap" to "must not overlap"
+            glibc 2.12 changed things so that applications that use memcpy() on
+            overlapping regions will encounter problems. (The standards have
+            long said that the behavious is undefined if the memory areas
+            overlap.)
+
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603144
+            In reference of http://lwn.net/Articles/414467/
+            and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/15278
+
+usleep.3

+        usleep() suspends calling thread, not process
+
+core.5
+    Michael Kerrisk

+
+            echo '|$PWD/core_pattern_pipe_test %p UID=%u GID=%g sig=%s'
+
+            But $PWD won't be expanded in single quotes. It should be double
+            quotes around the entire argument or some other form.
+

+        Added description of async-cancel-safe functions
