A couple of silly errors, and one dangerous bug were in the pre26 
release. This release corrects them.

Changes:

 - Using __snprintf is *NOT SAFE* on old Solaris. These functions do
   not behave the same as "normal" snprintf. The compatiblity change
   has been reverted. Thanks to Theo de Raadt <theo at cvs.openbsd.org>
   for the warning.

  (this means we need to adapt the another snprintf implementation
   to replace the one in bsd-snprintf.c. Has anyone cleaned up the 
   PostgreSQL version that was posted here a month or so ago?)

 - Compile fixes for systems lacking IPv6 support.

 - Compile fixes for Linux systems with /dev/ptmx but lacking 
   openpty()

 - Cleaned up bugs in bsd-bindresvport.c

 - Fix X11 forwarding on Linux w/o IPv6

Changelog:

20000117
 - Clean up bsd-bindresvport.c. Use arc4random() for picking initial
   port, ignore EINVAL errors (Linux) when searching for free port.
 - Revert __snprintf -> snprintf aliasing. Apparently Solaris 
   __snprintf isn't. Report from Theo de Raadt <theo at cvs.openbsd.org>
 - Document location of Redhat PAM file in INSTALL.
 - Fixed X11 forwarding bug on Linux. libc advertises AF_INET6 
   INADDR_ANY_INIT addresses via getaddrinfo, but may not be able to 
   deliver (no IPv6 kernel kernel support)
 - Released 1.2.1pre27

20000116
 - Compilation fix from Kiyokazu SUTO <suto at ks-and-ks.ne.jp>
 - Fixed broken bugfix for /dev/ptmx on Linux systems which lack 
   openpty(). Report from Kiyokazu SUTO <suto at ks-and-ks.ne.jp>
