I have started a local branch in which I am applying these patches. I've applied this patch, as well as your patches for readdir.3, ecvt.3, and localeconv.3. I'd like for us to get several more patches done before I merge the branch into 'master'. I appreciate that you may have a large number of patches for me. At least to start with, let us go a bit slowly while we fine tune things. It would be be best is you sent me 3 to 6 more patches now, and even better if they handled a few different cases. E.g., if you have patches that discuss things other than "thread-safety", send me a couple of those. Thank you for the patch.
