Assorted improvements and code cleanup:
+
+-
+
- malloc(3)
+has been rewritten to use the
+mmap(2)
+system call, introducing unpredictable allocation addresses and guard
+pages, which helps in detecting heap based buffer overflows and prevents
+various types of attacks.
+
- libc(3)
+source code has been converted to ANSI C.
+
- realpath(3)
+is now thread-safe.
+
- Several pathname races and potential buffer handling problems have been
+fixed in
+pax(1).
+
- Problems with signal delivery on OpenBSD/sparc and
+OpenBSD/sparc64 have been fixed.
+
- Reliability of signal handlers using floating point on
+OpenBSD/i386 and
+OpenBSD/macppc has been improved.
