! 80: <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=netstat&sektion=1">netstat(1)</a>'s -p option so that, when used without -s, it shows a list of sockets for the given protocol.

! 89: <li>Don't byte-swap a variable we'll need later in its original order in GNU <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld&sektion=1">ld(1)</a>.

! 100: <li>Change /etc/<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc&sektion=8">rc(8)</a> so that a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8">spamd(8)</a> banner (configured via $spamd_flags) may contain spaces (PR#3720).
! 101: <li>Teach <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pax&sektion=1">pax(1)</a> how to expand GNU tar long links. From NetBSD.
! 102: <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=1">systrace(1)</a>'s handling of filename-too-long errors so it just fails the syscall instead of stopping the process. Fixes PR#3140.
