Thank you, Michael. Sadly, this release does not contain the update
which I asked for in kernel.org bugzilla [1] and which should reflect
our fixed bug 10871. [2] Any chance to get an update soon? However,
our documentation has already been considered too ambiguous [3] and
will need some updates. [4]
My suggestion is: please reflect our documentation updates in man
to make sure that the developers get the updated man page even if the
documentation is not perfect and then when we polish our documentation
please update the man page as well. Optionally, I'll appreciate if you
help me improve the glibc documentation.

Rafal Luzynski
