Thanks for the patch!May I ask that you CC me in patches? I sometimes miss patches sent only to the list. (If there are any other patches from you that I ignored, please ping).
See a minor formatting comment below.BTW, I remember some month ago having followed the discussion about adding arc4random(3). Did you finally add it? If so, would any of you (glibc programmers) mind sending a manual page?
Thanks a lot! Cheers, Alex

Would you please reformat to use semantic line breaks?
man-pages(7):
Use semantic newlines
In the source of a manual page, new sentences should be
started on new lines, long sentences should be split into
lines at clause breaks (commas, semicolons, colons, and
so on), and long clauses should be split at phrase bound‐
aries. This convention, sometimes known as "semantic
newlines", makes it easier to see the effect of patches,
which often operate at the level of individual sentences,
clauses, or phrases.
.PP Traditionally, there was only a single source for service information, often in the form of a single configuration base-commit: b106cd5bf43fe806100bb5266b78f92bac90b6e0
