From 0f1371bcfb9c4ca67ee34db87fe9e85083405274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 17:41:02 +0000
Subject: Fix synopsis to match 1003.2.  Add text describing the way in which
 our implementation does not meet 1003.2 (rather than the now outdated ``is
 expected to comply' language).
