Patches: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/posix/unistd.h.diff?cvsroot=glibc&only_with_tag=glibc-2_3-branch&r1=1.130.4.2&r2=1.130.4.3 This fix is now in the 2.3 branch as well as the trunk, and the problem should be resolved as of the 2.3.6 release. |
In posix/unistd.h, the declaration of acct() has __THROW __nonnull ((1)) However, a NULL argument to acct() is the means of disabling process accounting. Therefore this declaration appears to be incorrect and should be removed.
