- Andrés García helped me out to track down the roots of bug report #479537,

  which was concerning curl returning the wrong error code when failing to

  connect. This didn't happen on all systems, and more specificly I've so far

  only seen this happen on IPv4-only Linux hosts.

- I applied the fixes for the two bugs Eric Lavigne found when doing his MacOS

  port. A missing comma in arpa_telnet.h and a pretty wild write in the FTP

  response reader function. The latter write is however likely to occur in our

  own buffer unless very big FTP server replies (>25K) are read. I've never

  seen such a reply ever, so I think this is a relatively minor risk.

- Moonesamy provided code to prevent junk from being output when libcurl

  returns an error code but no error description and that corrects how make is

  run in the Makefile.dist file (that appears as root Makefile in release

  archives).

- Eric Lavigne mailed me bugfixes and patches for building libcurl on MacOS

  (non-X). He'll get back with more updated patches soon.

- Kevin Roth modified the cygwin files once again, now to build against the

  shared OpenSSL DLLs.

Version 7.9.2-pre4

- Georg Horn brought a patch that introduced CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME,

  complete with man page updates!

- Miklos Nemeth provided details enough to update the Borland makefile

  properly.

- Lars M Gustafsson found a case with a bad free(). In fact, it was so bad I'm

  amazed we never saw this before!
