I know; I apologize - my copy of CVS acted up - the command line for it
probably got truncated, resulting in a truncated message and a commit for
the current dir (include/ in this case) instead of just include/stdlib.h.
I've already updated the CVS logs with the proper messages; the only
commit that shouldn't really have happened was the stdio.h one, but
the changes there seem pretty harmless.

I don't think so; the new fields were added at the end, so the offsets
remain identical as well.  I thought these changes were checked and
approved a while ago.

> Why this change?

This was not intended to go in.  Again, my apologies.

Yes, they are.  I had started to walk through include
files and move prototypes to the relevant section, so a
simple "cvs diff include" would tell me for what functions
I needed to check the implementations - luckily, I had only
done (part of) stdio.h.
