Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 sysvinit (3.12)

     * There were instances of the ctime() function being called in
 multiple files without
       checking the return value (can be NULL) and without checking the
 length of the
       returned information. While there _should_ never be a case where
 ctime() fails
       assuming success and length of returned string isn't ideal (or
 future-proof).
       We now check the return value of ctime() in bootlogd, dowall, last,
 logsave, and
       shutdown. Where no valid value is returned we supply a dummy value
 (usually a
       space in place of the expected time stamp). We also no longer assume
 returned string
       is at least 11-16 characters.

     * Re-commit flexible Makefile for GoboLinux.

     * Make sure pty.h and sys/sysmacros.h are included when building
 bootlogd on
       systems with glibc.

     * Fixed typos and syntax in manual page for init.8.
       Edits provided by : Bjarni Ingi Gislason.

     * Allow setting of location of the /usr directory in src/Makefile.
       This is handled by the usrdir variable.

     * Make sure src/Makefile uses sysconfdir (/etc by default) when
 installing
       configuration files.

     * Fix typos and syntax in pidof manual page.
