Are we looking at the same thing? appl/gssftp/ftp/pclose.c has always
had, and still has, an #ifndef HAVE_GETDTABLESIZE, and
appl/gssftp/ftp/configure.in has the corresponding
AC_HAVE_FUNCS(getcwd getdtablesize). In fact, configure.in is
untouched since 3/19, pclose.c is untouched since 2/7. The issue in
question is why this AC_HAVE_FUNCS test might have suddenly started
failing for Tom on Ultrix -- or did that actually happen?

For AC_REPLACE_FUNCS to work, there would have to be a
getdtablesize.c, and not only isn't there one, there isn't one in the
repository, nor is there an Attic version.

As far as I can tell, neither ftp or ftpd, in the cygnus or the MIT
trees, has *ever* had the AC_REPLACE_FUNCS usage you're talking
about. Can you figure out which revision of which file, and quote me
the relevant "cvs log" output (since the ChangeLog entries don't
mention anything relevant...)
