>Description:
	The split(1) man page states "if no output file length is
	specified, the file size will default to a length of 1000
	lines".  However, this sentence is tagged onto the description
	of the -b option.  I believe it should be in the following
	paragraph instead.
>How-To-Repeat:

	man split
