>Description:
Recent on-line manual pages introduce an error, writting
"exempli gratia" (Lat.) as "eg" instead of "e.g.". I recommend
changing all the occurrences of "(eg" to "(e.g., " (do not miss
the comma and the space!). This is a list of the affected man pages:
bzip2(1) objcopy(1) req(1) ssh(1)
issetugid(2) wscons.conf(5) groff_ms(7) packages(7)
mlxctl(8) rpc.statd(8) i386/boot(8) vnode(9)
autoconf(9) config(9) ioctl(9)
>How-To-Repeat:
Reading those man pages. Older ones (for example the VAX driver
pages) use "exempli gratia" as expected (e.g., as in this example).
>Fix:
Changing the source of the on-line manual pages in the cvstree.
