and adjust boehm-gc to deal with any number of holes that may appear
between __data_start and _end. (requires -current binutils)
- work-around libpthread bugs that prevent sigsuspend() from working
in a signal handler by using pthread_suspend_np() + an arch/libpthread
specific offset to obtain the suspended thread's stack pointer.
thanks to sthen@ and jasper@ for access to other arches. discussed

Axel does the same thing any other accelerator does: it opens more than
one HTTP/FTP connection per download and each connection transfers its
own, separate, part of the file.

xdesktopwaves is a cellular automata setting the background of your
X Window desktop under water. Windows and mouse are like ships on
the sea. Each movement of these ends up in moving water waves. You
can even have rain and/or storm stirring up the water.

* Security fixes:
- Integer overflows in FLV, Qt, Real, WC3Movie, Matroska and FILM
demuxers, allowing remote attackers to trigger heap overflows and
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1482)
* Added a few more memory allocation checks to the above demuxers.
* WAV file playback fix: don't assume that the first chunk is "fmt ".
* Don't try to play partial 24-bit AIFF frames (decoder would lose data).
* Fixed AIFF comment chunk handling and sample rate reading.
* LPCM fixes: input over-reading, conversion of 24-bit samples.

Tilt the floor to roll a ball through an obstacle course before time
runs out. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game, and entirely
a test of skill.
Also found here is Neverputt, a hot-seat multiplayer miniature golf game
using the physics and graphics of Neverball.

nanosleep(2) instead of usleep(3), which is limited to 1 second.
- stop clients from getting "zombified" after connection graph
changes by ignoring errors from read(2)ing data that isn't used.
"This is mostly a minor bugfix release. One of the fixes, however, repairs
a variable scope problem that could cause false negatives during SSP
checks. Thus, an upgrade is advised if you're running 2.5.0 or 2.5.1."
