I'm not sure if it's legal for wordexp to modify this field, but this
is the only easy/straightforward fix, and applications should not
care. if it's an issue, i can work out a different (but more complex)
solution later.
note that regardless of the name used, basename is always conformant.
it never takes on the bogus gnu behavior, unlike glibc where basename
is nonconformant when declared manually without including libgen.h.
setrlimit is supposed to be per-process, not per-thread, but again
linux gets it wrong. work around this in userspace. not only is it
needed for correctness; setxid also depends on the resource limits for
all threads being the same to avoid situations where temporarily
unlimiting the limit succeeds in some threads but fails in others.
we cannot report failure after forking, so the idea is to ensure prior
to fork that fd 0,1,2 exist. this will prevent dup2 from possibly
hitting a resource limit and failing in the child process. fcntl
rather than dup2 is used prior to forking to avoid race conditions.
clean and simple, but fails when the caller does not have permissions
to open the file for reading or when /proc is not available. i may
replace this with a full implementation later, possibly leaving this
version as an optimization to use when it works.
with datagram sockets, depending on fprintf not to flush the output
early was very fragile; the new version simply uses a small fixed-size
buffer. it could be updated to dynamic-allocate large buffers if
needed, but i can't envision any admin being happy about finding
64kb-long lines in their syslog...
sadly the C language does not specify any such implicit conversion, so
this is not a matter of just fixing warnings (as gcc treats it) but
actual errors. i would like to revisit a number of these changes and
possibly revise the types used to reduce the number of casts required.
