--- Comment #2 from Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg at FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Ngie Cooper from comment #0)
Some historical context as it seems to have been lost somehow:
The original implementation of hsearch(3) for FreeBSD up to 10.x release, was
indeed based on NetBSD. For the case of hsearch_r we adopted hsearch_r but the
NetBSD code never made it into a release as ed@ wrote a new implementation in
r292767.

The implementation for hcreate(3) functions should match POSIX. hsearch_r(3) is
a glibc extension.
