Re: HEADS UP: installworld gotchas

:> The new libc is incompatible with some old applications, but I'm not
:> too sure why.  The lock was added at the end of FILE...

:The size of FILE changed, thus the old application and the new library
:no longer agree about the values for stdout and stderr:
:
:       #define stdin   (&__sF[0])
:       #define stdout  (&__sF[1])
:       #define stderr  (&__sF[2])

   This is a major change to libc.  The library maj must be bumped if you
   intend to change the sizeof(FILE), or every single third party application
   that uses stdio will break.
