I know it sounds good. I just want to be sure that's it's the right
thing to do. :)
So my understanding is that only i386 and m68k are to be official 2.0
releases. alpha (and other) will wait for 2.1.

I agree with Manoj here.
Modifying libc to catch common security goals is a laudable goal, but
such a libc should go to experimental.

I don't have msqld installed, so msqld might be doing the correct
thing. It's fine to add the group with 'groupadd -g 36 msql', but you
definitely shouldn't modify the file directly.
It's just a silly bug. It calls that code from some scripts which
have fd0 dup'd elsewhere, so isatty(0) is false and getlogin() fails.
