in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-October/009579.html
This removes the ipv6 specific xconnect dns lookups. I do
not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

Fixes two bugs:
- END block didn't execute after an exit() call
- huge memory consumption and performance degradation on large input
(now performance is comparable to gawk)
This hides a bug related to the new bunzip code in the tar and dpkg[-deb]
applets.
It will also reduce compile time a little as some unused files wont be
compiled.
Dear list,
during my quest do pack busybox into an RPM, I've fixed a small bug
(missing \n) in dc's usage. And added two additional operations: mod and
exp/power.
Feel free to drop them.
Hi to all,
I'm sorry but I didn't spot this big fat bug until now,
Matteo Croce emailed me about it.
Please apply this patch as the devfsd applet is broken
and works only on a system booted with a standard devfsd
( the test I mostly did :-( ), but if used at boot time
it DOESN'T WORK.
Thanks in advance and please apply

the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Hello Rob,
Here's a patch to your bunzip-3.c file. Nice work btw.
One minor bug fix... checking for error return when read()ing.
Some size/performance optimizations as well. One instance of
memset() seems unnecssary. You might want to take a look.
Anyway, on my machine, decompressing linux-2.6.0-test7.tar.bz2
to /dev/null gave the following times:
bunzip-3.c bzcat (system) bunzip-3.c (patched)
real 0m24.420s 0m22.725s 0m20.701s
user 0m23.930s 0m22.170s 0m20.180s
sys 0m0.070s 0m0.080s 0m0.140s
Size of the patched version is comparable (slightly larger or
smaller depending on compiler flags).

The API for using partial writes, as described in my last message, sucked.
So here's a patch against my last patch that changes things so that
write_bunzip_data calls read_bunzip_data itself behind the scenes whenever
necessary. So usage is now just start_bunzip(), write_bunzip_data() until it
returns a negative number, and then the cleanup at the end of
uncompressStream.
It adds 32 bytes to the executable, but it should allow the caller (tar) to be
simplified enough to compensate. Total -Os stripped exe size now 6856 bytes.

P.S. I attached the whole C file so you don't have to keep incremental
patches straight if you don't want to. :)
P.S. In the version I'm banging on now, I've simplified the license to just
LGPL. I read the OSL a bit more closely and the patent termination clause
would have bit IBM in their counter-suit of SCO if the code in question had
been OSL instead of GPL, and I've decided I just don't want to beta-test
legal code right now.
Erik,
The format for /proc/meminfo has changed between 2.4 and 2.6, quite considerably.
In addition to the removal of the two-line summary that was present in 2.4,
MemShared was also removed. Presently (at least in busybox CVS HEAD), top fails
to parse this correctly and spews forth a:
top: failed to read 'meminfo'
message. This patch switches around some of the semantics a little to do sane
parsing for both 2.4 and 2.6. Also, in the event that the summary gets yanked
from 2.4, this patch will deal with that as well. With this patch, I'm able
to run top correctly on 2.6.0-test7 (tested on sh).
Please apply.
