I've gone through all open bug reports for glibc and closed some of
them. For the rest I've added some comments. I've made a HTML page
and uploaded the page to < http://www.suse.de/~aj/pr-summary.html >.
Thanks for doing this.
Could you please look at the reports, send me your comments - and fix
all open reports ;-) ?

How shall we name the Hurd? - the "GNU system" is confusing.
We cannot call Linux *the* GNU system since it has arbitrary limits :-).
But seriously, there are several places where the term is used
throughout the documentation. We could of course be more specific in
those places (the GNU systems vs. a Hurd-based GNU system vs. a
Linux-based GNU system), but we could also say somewhere in the
introduction that not all features of *the* GNU system are present in a
Linux-based GNU system, and perhaps add an appendix describing the
different feautures of Linux.
I'm volunteering to write that short intro (which will of course be a
shameless plug for the Hurd :-)), and make a start with the
Linux-specific appendix, if people think this is a good idea.
