This is automatically generated email about markup problems in a man page for which you appear to be responsible. If you are not the right person or list, please tell me so I can correct my database. See http://catb.org/~esr/doclifter/bugs.html for details on how and why these patches were generated. Feel free to email me with any questions. Note: These patches do not change the modification date of any manual page. You may wish to do that by hand. I apologize if this message seems spammy or impersonal. The volume of markup bugs I am tracking is over five hundred - there is no real alternative to generating bugmail from a database and template. -- Eric S.
