  15  13:  EFIAPI usage                                      2013-01-15   Understood
  16       Mismatch between functions declared EFIAPI but not defined EFIAPI.

  18  14:  EFIAPI usage                                      2013-01-15   Understood
  19       Function pointer type PFN_NET_CONFIGURE is NOT defined as EFIAPI but is
  20       used to point to EFIAPI functions.  This causes conflicts and results in
  21       improper operation.

  23  15:  Build Error                                       2013-09-20   Open
  24       Predicates in ns_addr.c and res_mkupdate.c need to also include explicit
  25       comparisons if an assignment side-effect is used.  Otherwise a warning
  26       will be generated which is promoted to a fatal error.

  32   3:  Usage Clarification                                     2012   Document
  33       Clarify that the current StdLib may not be used for developing drivers.
  34
  35   5:  Error message Quality during execution                  2012   Verified
  36       Performing filesystem operations when a filesystem driver has not been
  37       linked into the application results in hangs or error messages that are
  38       misleading or unclear as to the cause.
  39
  40   6:  Application error return                                2012   Verified
  41       On error, applications will sometimes return large positive numbers.
  42
  43   9:  chdir/cwd not in EFI Shell                              2012   Understood
  44       The chdir and getcwd functions only work if one is using the UEFI Shell.
  45
  46  10:  No current volume/directory at app. startup.            2012   Understood
  47       If the Shell does not have a current volume or directory, file operations
  48       may hang or fail.
  49
  50  12:  Differentiate between binary and text streams.     Aug. 2013   Understood
  51       Implement differentiated text streams as specified by section 7.19.2 Streams,
  52       of the C standard.
  53
  54  16:  Build Error                                       2013-08-12   Understood
