file, conditional on their existence. For example:
[ in ../conf/GENERIC ]
cinclude "../crypto-intl/sys/conf/files.crypto-intl"
This required a change to the files.* grammar; pseudo-device in that
context has been changed to defpseudo, to avoid a conflicting rule
for pseudo-device in the kernel config files.
The same grammar change allows vendors to ship files.* files for
commercial drivers, rather than diffs to e.g. files.pci, i.e.:
include "arch/i386/pci/files.zap"
zap* at pci? device ? function ?
Where files.zap might contain:
device zap: ether, ifnet, arp, mii
attach zap at pci
object arch/i386/pci/zap.o zap
issues (at least):
1) sbrk is defined as returning char *, which violates XPG
2) I'm not clear on what happens if you try to sbrk() on a negative
incr that is less than the page size. I'm guessing "nothing", but we
should document this behavior.
3) XPG says some interesting things about whether new pages are
guaranteed zeroed. We say nothing about this. We should document our
behavior.
4) It isn't clear if *we* guarantee that malloc and sbrk can be mixed
in our API (I've documented that it isn't universally portable.)
We really should clean these up, too.

This is one link on the chain of lossage known as PR#7897. It's
definitely not the right fix, but it's better than nothing.
sub-structure malloc() failed, it was quite likely that the function
would return success incorrectly. This is this direct cause of the bug
reported in PR#7897. (Thanks to chs for helping to track it down.)
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
This was because of two reasons:
- /etc/hosts lookup code damaged some of internal
state used by gethostbyname2().
- getaddrinfo() was not persistent enough against errors.
Sorry for the delay, and hope this fix all the following PRs
(I checked in my environment immitating those PRs and it worked for me)
