Implemented negative caching on uid/gid lookup failures. This won't
...
matter much on some systems, but on ftp servers (like wcarchive) where
you run with special stripped group and pwd.db files in the anonymous
ftp /etc, this can be a major speedup for ls(1).

ss_flags to SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK. SA_ONSTACK is still used in
struct sigaction. Nowhere in our entire source tree could I find a

If the send() to the AF_UNIX socket to the syslogd fails, attempt to
...
reconnect once using the saved openlog() parameters.
This helps one of the system startup race conditions. If syslogd takes too
long to get going, some daemons can fail the connection and forever log
to the console even though the syslogd is running. That is ..unfortunate..

If the two recently added sysctl variables exist, use those rather than
...
the statically compiled PS_STRINGS and USRSTACK variables. This prevents
programs using setproctitle from coredumping if the kernel VM is increased,
and stops libkvm users (w, ps, etc) from needing to be recompiled if only
the VM layout changes.
