+Subject: [PATCH] top: fix a fix for the 'bye_bye' function (merge #127)
+
+In the merge request shown below, 1 too many bytes are
+written to stdout thus including the terminating null.
+As the cure, this commit just reduces the length by 1.
+
+[ along the way, we will remove some unneeded braces ]
+[ plus add some additional comments with attribution ]

+Subject: [PATCH] top: replaced one use of fputs(3) with a write(2) call
+
+This patch is ported from a merge request shown below,
+and the following represents the original commit text.
+
+------------------------------------------------------
+top: In the bye_bye function, replace fputs with the write interface.
+
+When top calls malloc, if a signal is received, it will
+call sig_endpgm to process the signal. In the bye_bye function, if the
+-b option is enable, the Batch variable is set, the fputs function
+will calls malloc at the same time. The malloc function is not reentrant, so
+it will cause the program to crash.
