2013-02-12	Fix link() to work when chrootedpseudo-1.4.4 PSEUDO_1_4_4	Peter Seebach
	The automatic path fixups invoked for names which end in the string "path" was still applying to link(), which then called linkat(), which would do the same path fixups; if you were chrooted, this would produce bogus paths. On systems which actually have linkat(), this would produce the even more mysterious behavior that the link would succeed, but the following stat would fail. Solution: Change the wrapfuncs prototypes for link() so it doesn't invoke automatic path name fixups.
2012-12-12	add linkat() implementation	Peter Seebach
	We never had an implementation for linkat() because no one used it; now someone uses it. link() is now implemented on top of linkat(). Note the abnormal AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW (as opposed to _NOFOLLOW) flag.
2012-03-27	add popen() call	Peter Seebach
	We weren't trapping popen(), so if environment variables were in an inconsistent state when popen() was called, Bad Things Happened. Add a popen() wrapper. Like a couple of other special cases, is applied even when pseudo is theoretically disabled, and that includes the antimagic case. (But we never use popen() so that's fine.)
2012-02-06	Fix *at() function interface holes	Peter Seebach
	1. Fix at() where dirfd is obtained through dirfd(DIR ). The dirfd(DIR ) interface allows you to get the fd for a DIR , meaning you can use it with openat(), meaning you can need its path. This causes a segfault. Also fixed the base_path code not to segfault in that case, but first fix the underlying problem. 2. Implement renameat() After three long years, someone tried to use this. This was impossibly hard back when pseudo was written, because there was only one dirfd provided for. Thing is, now, the canonicalization happens in wrapfuncs, so a small tweak to makewrappers to recognize that oldpath should use olddirfd if it exists is enough to get us fully canonicalized paths when needed.
2011-06-09	Fix realpath(name, NULL) when PSEUDO_DISABLED=1	Peter Seebach
	On some Linux systems, dlsym("realpath", RTLD_NEXT) prefers for reasons of its own to give a symbol that is also known as old_realpath, which fails and yields EINVAL when called with a null pointer as the second argument. This can be avoided, on some systems, by using dlvsym() to request the GLIBC_2.3 version of the symbol. The wrapper logic is enhanced to allow for specifying versions, although this currently only works for Linux (Darwin has no dlvsym, apparently?). The test case is a trivial program which calls realpath(name, NULL) run with PSEUDO_DISABLED=1.
2011-06-02	Add system() wrapper to force setup of the pseudo environment. Note	Peter Seebach
	that we add an extra fork() so we can do the setup in a child process, but still just pass the command string to the standard system() call.
2011-03-25	Merge in ports work	Peter Seebach
	This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X 10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases. There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
