    Update to 5.9.2:

    - 5.9.2 | 2013-11-28

      - bugfixes

        - avoid possibly failing command in backticks

          Some versions of Solaris /bin/sh would cause the extract-help
          build script to exit failurefully when the grep command in the
          backticks failed (in the presence of "set -e").  Sigh.

        - handle low-memory situations like RCS 5.7 (mostly)

          For reading comma-v files, RCS 5.7 tries mmap(2), in-core
          snarfing, and stdio access, falling back to slower methods
          on failure of the faster method.  RCS 5.8 maintained the order,
          but did not fall back; on failure, it gave up immediately.
          This change was originally viewed as a feature, but lately it
          seemed more like a bug.

          Now, RCS 5.7 behavior is for the most part restored.  The
          exception is when env var ���RCS_MEM_LIMIT��� is set; in that case,
          failure of a fast method does not fall back to the slower one.

      - default for env var ���RCS_MEM_LIMIT��� relaxed

        This used to be 256 kilobytes, a reasonable value a long time
        ago, but ridiculously low nowadays.  Now, it is "unlimited",
        which is more in line w/ the GNU philosophy, anyway:

         (info "(standards) Semantics")

        Since the env var is mostly intended for testing RCS, you can
        normally leave it unset.  (Probably it will be removed in a
        future release.)
