o Add cross-references to su(1) and setfsmac(8) where appropriate
o Comment out mmap revocation sysctls as they are a bit too experimental
o Add the standard BUGS section

This appears to fix all sorts of problems with open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY)

Security improvements:
- Increase the size of each syncookie secret from 32 to 128 bits
in order to make brute force attacks on the secrets much more
difficult.
- Always return the lowest order dword from the MD5 hash; this
allows us to expose 2 more bits of the cookie and makes ACK
floods which seek to guess the cookie value more difficult.
Performance improvements:
- Increase the lifetime of each syncookie from 4 seconds to 16
seconds. This increases the usefulness of syncookies during
an attack.
- From Yahoo!: Reduce the number of calls to MD5Update; this
results in a ~17% increase in cookie generation time here.

causes a leak because the other is usually followed by an exec.
