>Description:

	tsort(1) man page incorrectly implies that there must be an
	even number of nodes.  They meant to say that there must be
	an even number of words in the input file, since it is composed
	of node-pairs describing the graph.  It is very badly worded
	though.

>How-To-Repeat:

	man tsort

>Fix:
