on single systems and clusters of systems. It is a command-line
based tool that grew out of the UNIX world and has been ported to
run in Windows environments as well. It is designed to provide
consistent and reproducible performance measurements of disk I/O
traffic. There are three basic components to xdd that include the
xdd program itself, a timeserver program, and a gettime program.
The timeserver and gettime programs are used to synchronize the
clocks of xdd programs simultaneously running across multiple
computer systems.

- A printf format specified a long operand but received an offset_t value.
- The random numbers for large seek ranges were computed without regard
for operator precedence and could become negative (for file sizes larger
than 4GB, which was a wrong test for "large", since it did not account
for the chunk size).
The problems were found by etc at fluffles dot net (Enlightenment). Thanks
for the detailed report. Guess there aren't many Bonnie users with multi-
terabyte RAID systems; these bugs had been found long ago, else ...
create common testing platform to run predefined GTK+ widgets (opening
comboboxes, toggling buttons, scrolling text yms.) and this way define the speed
of device/platform.

in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
