Here are all the broken links in the source tree:

doc/src/sgml/libpq.sgml:
Wrong:   http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/ba554_90007/ch04.html
Correct: http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/doc/83final/ba554_90007/ch04.html

doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml:
Wrong: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/ba554_90007/ch04s02.html
Correct: http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/doc/83final/ba554_90007/ch04s02.html

src/include/port/atomics/generic-acc.h:
Wrong: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/download/files/unprot/Itanium/inline_assem_ERS.pdf
Perhaps right:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.129.5445&rep=rep1&type=pdf

src/include/port/atomics/generic-acc.h:
src/include/storage/s_lock.h:
Wrong: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/download/files/unprot/itanium/spinlocks.pdf
Perhaps right:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.129.5445&rep=rep1&type=pdf

It would be nice to fix the links to the docs for spinlocks and inline
assembler at the same time, but I am not sure where those are..

I think HP break their site on a regular basis. Maybe we should be
looking for some more stable source of similar information?  I can't
believe that OpenVMS programming manuals are the best possible source of
SSL information.

Well, more to the point, it's obvious from the very form of these links
that HP don't intend them to be stable externally-referenceable URLs.
I remember being unhappy from the beginning that Bruce would try to link
to them in our docs, and I think we're seeing now that indeed they're
not trustworthy permanent URLs.

Exactly.

+<many>. I've been thinking that for a while. And it's not the first time
they changed things on us.

    I have committed the proposed changes now.

We can substitute better links when we have them, but for now we don't
appear to have any.
