[Ftp-release] [ANNOUNCE] libbsd 0.6.0 released

[Guillem Jover]

Hi!

This release should finally fix all issues created with the introduction
of the setproctitle() implementation, by moving the automatic constructor
from the main libbsd library to a new libbsd-ctor static library. As
using the automatic constructor support in combination with dlopen() and
threaded programs or libraries is not safe at all, and this was causing
segfaults with samba NSS modules for example. Upgrading is strongly
recommended.

There's now two methods to initialize the setproctitle machinery, either
implicitly like before but by using «pkg-config --libs libbsd-ctor» or by
explicitly calling setproctitle_init() (or the sendmail compatible
initsetproctitle()), although these need to get the source code modified
and are not portable to the BSDs.

A helpful warning will also be issued by setproctitle() when called prior
to any initialization to help spot that situation.
