telldir positions. This will allow (future) locking on a
per-DIR basis (for MT-safety). For now, this change does
the following:
o Remove the hash table from telldir.c. Recode to use queue
macros.
o Remove 'const' from 'telldir(const DIR *)'.
o Remove 'register' variables as suggested in a recent
thread.

a NULL argument. Some programs change the contents of the argv
array, typically to remove some special arguments. They shorten
argv by storing a NULL where an argument pointer used to be. Such
programs core dumped if they called setproctitle(), because it
would try to apply strlen() to a NULL pointer.
instead of immediately after the fclose. The previous logic did work
on freebsd, but is somewhat risky practice (and causes trouble when
porting to other OS's).

were not present when dev_mkdb(8) was run.
First the dev_mkdb(8) database is searched, this caters for non-DEVFS
cases where people have renamed a device.
If that fails we ask the kernel using sysctl kern.devname if the device
driver has put a name in the dev_t. This covers DEVFS cloned devices.
If that also fails we format a string which isn't entirely useless.
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

It was kinda silly since the sigaction() syscall that it used to setup
the handler is more recent than __getcwd(), therefore it was useless
as the wrapper would have died before even getting as far as __getcwd(2).

and bump __FreeBSD_version to 500012 to mark the occasion.
setproctitle() is prototyped in unistd.h as opposed to stdlib.h
where OpenBSD and NetBSD have it.
