Description:
	There is a bug in Standard I/O for System V Release 2 Version 2.  If
	you have more than one FILE stream open on a single file descriptor,
	bad things to your malloc() heap space happen.

	Throughout the stdio code, the end of the buffer associated with
	a stream is referenced by the macro _bufend().  This macro is
	defined in /usr/include/stdio.h, and references a table of pointers
	the end of the buffers.  The problem is, the table is referenced
	like this:

		_bufendtab[(p)->_file]

	where `p' is your FILE pointer.  This is wrong.  What you really
	want to do is reference the table like this:

		_bufendtab[(p) - &_iob[0]]

	which associates slots in the table of pointers with slots in
	the table of _iob structures.

Repeat-By:
	int fd;
	FILE *fp1, *fp2;

	fd = open("/dev/tty", 2);
	fp1 = fdopen(fd, "r");
	fp2 = fdopen(fd, "w");

	Subsequent fputs() calls to `fp2' will cause random areas of
	memory to be modified, because the data structures that describe
	the length of the buffer have been clobbered.

Fix:
	Two fixes - one to /usr/include/stdio.h, and another to
	/usr/src/lib/libc/port/print/doprnt.c, which also references
	the table incorrectly, without using the macro.  Note that
	after making the change to /usr/include/stdio.h, you must
	recompile everything in /usr/src/lib/libc/port/stdio.
