p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@5762
Gurusamy Sarathy [Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:18:41 +0000]
due to an oversight during PERL_OBJECT migration, hosts created
by pseudo-fork were never being deleted, leading to a sizeable
memory leak; std FDs in pseudo-children are now closed
automatically to avoid resource leaks; basic infinite looping
fork() test works without leaking again in non-PERL_OBJECT
build

Fix pp_send() sizes (pass a Size_t, not an Off_t, and
return a SSize_t, not an Off_t); add a note about a slightly
similar situation in pp_truncate(); introduce $sizesize
for Configure; update EPOC, VOS, Win32, and VMS for the
sizesize; minor updates on the EPOC config file; reword
socklen_t message slightly; fix fpossize (though unused currently)

Configure nits: do not use /tmp to avoid potential security
problems (Andy Dougherty: this does not fix the rampant
use of /tmp by the various utilities like C compilers, though.
Just don't run Configure as root if you care about security.),

not to use /tmp; retract #4993 (the description of the *symbols
