* NEWS: Document the bug fix.
* src/od.c (skip): Call fseek even when n_skip is exactly the
same as the length of the current file. Otherwise, the next
iteration would use unadjusted input stream pointer, thus ignoring
the desired "skip". Report and patch by Paul GHALEB.
* NEWS: Document this bug fix.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it
appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an
optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0.
Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file,
on e.g., linux-2.6.20.
* tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len.
Reported by Dan Berrangé.
* src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
(gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.

* tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
* tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
* src/chown.c (main): Emit the diagnostic before the file name,
not after it, to be consistent with chgrp's diagnostic.
* src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Emit a ":" between the diagnostic
and the file name.
Reported by Egmont Koblinger.
* THANKS: Add Egmont Koblinger.
* src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Give a more descriptive/consistent
diagnostic upon failure.
(main): Likewise.
Suggestion from Joey Hess.
* THANKS: Add Joey Hess.

* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
* THANKS: Add Michael McLagan.
Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.
* src/tr.c (main): Remove invalid assertion triggered by e.g.,
tr -c a '[b*256]'. There's nothing wrong with having Set2 larger
than Set1. Reported by Guntram Blohm.
* tests/tr/Test.pm (no-abort-1): Test for the above.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* THANKS: Add Guntram Blohm.
* NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
* src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
Reported by Wis Macomson.
* tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
* THANKS: Update.
the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
"environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
* THANKS: Update.
* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): ... that it can be applied to the
field-end spec, but not the field-start one. Patch from Evan Hunt.

* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
* NEWS: List this bug fix.
* THANKS: Mention him.
* tests/misc/cut: New file.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
