Hi BugBusters!,

As now this list is finally on FreeBSD.org, I thought, it was kinda
useful, for me to post my big list of _closable_ PRs to this list.  I
hope someone will take interest. :)

Buggers List of PRs (Problem Reports):

misc/34039 (FreeBSD fortune(6) tips to be added)
docs/34074 (Incomplete disklabel instructions)
docs/34038 (New Article for the a.out to ELF upgrade process [in 
detail])
docs/34005 (mmap man page description of ENOMEM is ambiguous)
docs/32468 (broken link in handbook: sysutils/mkisofs - [tmp. fix])
kern/26510 (panic Intel STL2 server board with 4GB RAM)
i386/26812 (old bootstrap /sys/i386/boot/... still in -STABLE branch)
docs/32020 (loader.8 manpage missing tunables)
i386/26736 (System freeze booting from (i386) 4.3 floppies)

i386/34399 (Undefined datatypes in netinet headers)
[ the above PR can be closed, according to the followup, I checked
the header file src/netinet/in_systm.h, as well write code. ]

kern/28162 ([4G Memory Problem] - fixed in RELENG_4, HEAD, 4.5])
i386/29045 (paninc ffs_blkfree)
i386/29096 ([no feedback from originator])
i386/31728 (Install hangs...)
i386/33089 ([no feedback from originator])
i386/34051 ([not enought information - looks misfiled to me])
i386/28536 ([needs to be handed over to the MSDOSFS maintainer])

i386/28536
[ the above PR is pretty simple to fix.  As I followedup to the PR, I 
mentioned
to hand it over to the MSDOSFS maintainer.  But after checking CVS 
logs, I
found out that the code is originally from NetBSD (imported by dfr@).

A similar type of fix, is also in the NetBSD MSDOSFS code (-current 
one).

	/*
	 * Check and validate (or perhaps invalidate?) the fsinfo 
structure?
	 * XXX
	 */

	if (pmp->pm_fsinfo) {
		if (pmp->pm_nxtfree == (u_long)-1)
			pmp->pm_fsinfo = 0;
	}

In a nutshell, I think the patch supplied in the PR is good enough to be
applied to sys/fs/msdosfs/msdos_vfsops.c. Although, I think this should 
be
looked into by a more experienced person other than me ( I am dumb ). 
It would
also be good, if this change was to be backported to NetBSD, as I can 
see an
XXX comment in the above code as well. :) ]

NOTE: Some of them might be closed, as this was last updated around
two weeks ago.

regards,
