Following are the before and after operations for seekable files,
for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch:
skip beyond end of file
before: immediately exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0);
skip > max file size
before: read whole file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > max file size
before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
skip > OFF_T_MAX
before: read whole device/file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1);

when the file name list is not too large. Before, wc would always read
the entire file name list into memory and *then* process each file name.
wc does read the list into memory when the list is known not to be too
large; this is done in order to be able to align the output numbers,
as it does with arguments specified on the command-line

Reported by Barry Kelly. More details in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/15159/
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily.
cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the
source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the
command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld.
Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering
name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link.
Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified
on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree.
Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set.
* NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it.
* tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Colorize hard linked files.
* src/dircolors.c: Add color for hard link.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add color for hard link.
* tests/ls/hardlink: Test for ls - colorize hard linked files.

* src/ls.c (gobble_file) [long_format]: Map SELinux-only to '.',
any other nonempty combination of MAC and ACL to '+', and all else
to the usual ' '. Suggested by Michael Stone.
* tests/misc/selinux: Adapt: expect '.', not '+'.
* doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Document this.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.

(compare_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.
* bootstrap.conf: Add filevercmp to list of gnulib modules.
* tests/misc/sort-version: Remove conflicting string and enhance test.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
This enhancement works around a problem that is specific to at least
ext3 and ext4 file systems. With them, it would take hours to remove
a two-million-entry directory. RAM-backed file systems (tmpfs) are
not affected, since there is no seek penalty.
* remove.c (rm_malloc, rm_free, compare_ino): New functions.
(dirent_count, preprocess_dir): New function.
[struct readdir_data]: New struct.
(remove_cwd_entries): Call preprocess_dir.
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: New file. Test for the performance fix.
* NEWS: mention the new feature
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use strtold, not c_strtold to convert
from just-formatted-using-asprintf string back to double, since
asprintf may have used something other than "." as the decimal point.
Reported by lsof@nodata.co.uk as <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/463556>.

use to parse the options mentioned above.
(main): parse these options with getopt_long instead of
parse_long_options.

one to the other if needed).
(integer_overflow): issue a more explicit error message indicating

options for the MP implementation and update the performance
numbers to take into account the asymptotically faster algorithm.

* m4/gmp.m4: Add support for --without-gmp.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.

constant memory per directory, no matter how many files are in
the directory.
* ls.c (print_dir): Print each file name immediately, when possible.
