To be fair, it was Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandb...@it.uu.se> who noticed this issue and reported it to me (in the context of the manpage being wrong). I just passed it on to the linux-kernel list. Vince -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
