>Description:
	The abort man page claims no open streams are closed or flushed,
	yet the source clearly flushes streams.

	The abort man page does not document whether or not we remove
	temporary files.

	The man page claims conformance to ANSI C, yet the source
	contradicts it in the name of supporting POSIX.1.

	So far as I can tell, these are all flaws in the man page, which
	may be obsolete.

>How-To-Repeat:
	"man abort"
>Fix:
	Update the man page.
