This is automatically generated email about markup problems in a man
page for which you appear to be responsible. If you are not the right
person or list, please tell me so I can correct my database.
See http://catb.org/~esr/doclifter/bugs.html for details on how and
why these patches were generated. Feel free to email me with any
questions. Note: These patches do not change the modification date of
any manual page. You may wish to do that by hand.
I apologize if this message seems spammy or impersonal. The volume of
markup bugs I am tracking is over five hundred - there is no real
alternative to generating bugmail from a database and template.

macro set that the man page seems to be using. This is a serious
error; it often means part of your text is being lost or rendered
incorrectly.
