- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Hi,
there was a patch in bugzilla that fixes spelling, it did not get to
libc-alpha because:
I could not get mail through to the libc-alpha list (was subscribed,
tried "global-allow-subscribe-...", kept getting "Sorry, I've been told
to reject your posts.") so I'm submitting this patch here, see comments
in it for more info.
Should we contact overseers or is problem somewhere else?
I reviewed these typo fixes and commited these, a simplified diff and a
patch with added bookkeeping follow:
