         Retitled subsection "(Un)supported features" to "Sockets API"
             This is consistent with the recent change in tcp(7).

+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+gethostid.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Move to Section 3
+            The interfaces documented in this page are purely glibc.
+
+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Kernel 2.6.28 adds accept4()
+
+clock_getres.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: Add pthread_getcpuclockid(3)
+
+fmemopen.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix VERSIONS information
+
+gethostid.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Before version 2.2, glibc stored the host ID in /var/adm/hostid
+            Also: rewrite some text describing the /etc/hostid file, so that
+            this location is referred to just once on the page.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        RETURN VALUE: describe return value of sethostid()
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Added BUGS section noting that ID can't be guaranteed to be unique
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Added ERRORS section describing errors for sethostid()
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Update section number to reflect relocation into Section 3
+
+printf.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Source and destination buffers may not overlap for *s*printf()
+            http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7075
+
+            Some existing code relies on techniques like the following to
+            append text to a buffer:
+
+                $ cat s.c
+                #include <stdio.h>
+                char buf[80] = "not ";
+                main()
+                {
+                    sprintf(buf, "%sfail", buf);
+                puts(buf);
+                return 0;
+                }
+
+                $ cc s.c
+                $ ./a.out
+                not fail
+
+            However, the standards say the results are undefined if source
+            and destination buffers overlap, and with suitable compiler
+            options, recent changes can cause unexpected results:
+
+                $ cc -v 2>&1 | grep gcc
+                gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux)
+                $ cc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE -O2 s.c
+                $ ./a.out
+                fail
+
+readdir.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rewrite text describing 'dirent' fields standardized in POSIX.1
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify text for return value/errno setting for end-of-stream case
+
+nscd.8
+    Petr Baudis
+        Correct NOTES section on reloading configuration files
+            It behaved this way at least since
+            "Sun Oct 18 15:02:11 1998 +0000",
+            some four months after including the nscd implementation
+            in glibc. But there does seem to be a short window between
+            glibc-2.1 and glibc-2.1.3 when nscd -i was not available,
+            I don't think it's worth muddling the point of the page
+            with that, though.
