Approximately 67 tickets were reviewed or otherwise worked on, and 11 patches were applied.
I spent some more time on [perl #81074] this month, finding a bug in pthreads on NetBSD. Thread specific storage should be initialized to NULL, but under some circumstances this doesn't happen on NetBSD, including NetBSD 6.1.3. This is apparently fixed in NetBSD current.
I produced a candidate patch for this ticket, LeonT asked me to hold off on applying it until he'd commented on it.
rjbs asked me to work on rebasing and adapting Father Chrysostomos' sprout/smartpatch branch, the results can be found in tonyc/smartmatch.
I have 32.19 hours remaining of my grant.
