+Global changes
+--------------
+
+pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3
+pthread_getattr_np.3

+pthread_tryjoin_np.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Explain _np suffix
+            Add text to CONFORMING TO explaining that the "_np"
+            suffix is because these functions are non-portable.
+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+sched_setaffinity.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add sched_getcpu(3)
+
+sched_setaffinity.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: Add pthread_setaffinity_np(3)
+
+sched_setaffinity.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify EINVAL error for cpusetsize < kernel mask size
+            For sched_setaffinity(), the EINVAL error that occurs
+            if 'cpusetsize' is smaller than the kernel CPU set size only
+            occurs with kernels before 2.6.9.
+
+vfork.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Child holds parent's memory until execve() or *termination*
+            The page was phrased in a few places to describe the child as
+            holding the parent's memory until the child does an execve(2)
+            or an _exit(2).  The latter case should really be the more
+            general process termination (i.e., either _exit(2) or abnormal
+            termination).
+
+clock_getres.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID not setabble
+            According to POSIX.1-2001, the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and
+            CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clocks should be settable, but
+            currently they are not.
+
+pthread_attr_setstacksize.3
+    Michael Kerrisk, after a report by Karsten Weiss
+        EINVAL occurs on some systems if stacksize != page-size
+            On MacOS X at least, pthread_attr_setstacksize(3) can fail
+            with EINVAL if 'stacksize' is not a multiple of the system
+            page size.  Best to mention this so as to aid people writing
+            portable programs.
+
+pthread_create.3
+    Karsten Weiss
+        Fix bug in EXAMPLE program
+            The calloc() line should read like this instead:
+
+                tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info));
+
+pthread_exit.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        BUGS: thread group with a dead leader and stop signals
+            Document the bug that can occur when a stop signal
+            is sent to a thread group whose leader has terminated.
+            http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/611611
+            http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122525468300823&w=2
+
+resolver.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix prototype of dn_expand()
+            The 4th argument is "char *", not "unsigned char *".
+            http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504708
+
+epoll.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix error handling after accept() in example code
+            Simply continuing after an error is in most cases wrong,
+            and can lead to infinite loops (e.g., for EMFILE).
+            So handle an error by terminating.
+            http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504202
+
+epoll.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add error handling for epoll_wait() call in example code
+
+epoll.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Improve example code
+            Fill in some gaps in example code (variable declarations,
+            adding listening socket to epoll set).
+            Give variables more meaningful names.
+            Other minor changes.

+
+iso_8859-7.7
+    Lefteris Dimitroulakis
+        Add characters for Drachma and Greek Ypogegrammeni
+            Lines for these two characters were added in the previous patch,
+            but the actual characters were not included in the 4th column
+            of the table.  This fixes that.
+
+pthreads.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add a section describing thread IDs
+            In particular, note that in each pthreads function that takes
+            a thread ID argument, that ID by definition refers to a thread
+            in the same process as the caller.
