>Description:
	almost any system call which touches the filesystem can return
	ESTALE if NFS is involved.
	However, ESTALE doesn't appear to be referenced on many such
	man pages.
>How-To-Repeat:
	get ESTALE return from open, see no reference to it in the man page.
	a spot check of a couple other man pages shows that it's
	missing there, too.
>Fix:
	go through and add ESTALE to appropriate section 2 and section
	3 man pages.
