MacOSX? All of my fixes are based on my own libc implementation which
is implemented directly from reading POSIX/SUSv3/ISO C rather than
relying on traditional implementations as a guide. These same issues
may apply on OSX but that's not how I found them.

Whatever you like is ok with me. I'm just the user not the developer
and as long as it works and it's not bloated and doesn't require me to
use a bloated OS/libc/tools I'm happy. :)
