I had to change the tolower/toupper macros in ctype.h. There are
really people out there who call these functions with parameters which
cannot be characters. The worst thing is: the ISO C standard supports
this. All Unices have tolower and toupper real functions and _tolower
and _toupper provide optimized access. Sigh.
Beside this I've found two more bugs in nss. Libnss_files couldn't
handle buffer of size 1. Every other size worked.
Both are no changes which require major testing and since I've not yet
seen a real bug report I think we can skip 2.0.112 and go for 2.1. I
intend to give the people a few more days (probably Tuesday or so) and
if nothing is reported we go for it. OK?
