Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.21-1
Severity: normal

In the clone(2) man page, sys_clone is described (the kernel level system 
call). The description there has inconsistent argument count.

The first paragraph claims that sys_clone only has the flags and child stack 
arguments (making a total of two).

The third paragraph says that kernel 2.5.49 added two more arguments, making a 
total of five.

Either an argument is missing from the description, or someone made an algebric 
error.
