+       * editfns.c (get_pos_property): Use SAFE_ALLOCA_LISP, to avoid
+       segfault when there are lots of overlays.
+
+       * buffer.c (sort_overlays): Use SAFE_NALLOCA, to avoid segfault
+       when there are lots of overlays.  See
+       http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-01/msg00421.html
+       for the details and a way to reproduce.

+       * fileio.c: Use O_APPEND to append.
+       This corresponds better to the natural interpretation of "append",
+       and avoids the need to open the output file twice, or to invoke
+       lseek when APPEND is neither nil nor a number.
+       This relies on POSIX 1003.1-1988 or later, which is OK nowadays.
+       (Fwrite_region): Simplify.  Use O_APPEND instead of opening the
+       file possibly twice, and lseeking to its end; this avoids the
+       need to lseek on non-regular files.  Do not use O_EXCL and O_TRUNC
+       at the same time: the combination is never needed and apparently
+       it doesn't work with DOS_NT.
+
        Fix size bug on DOS_NT introduced by CIFS workaround (Bug#13149).
        * fileio.c (Fwrite_region): Use O_BINARY in checking code, too.
