pthread-related man pages mis-typeset (mildly)
I currently have glibc-doc 2.3.2-ds1-13 installed on Debian / Sarge.
The man pages for the pthread_* and sem_* functions display with "!"
before and after each function name. (My dim memory of *roff formats
hints this may indicate a sensible but failed attempt at some form of
formatting.) See below for the shortest example. A haphazard
sampling of the man pages reported by dpkg -L glibc-doc would seem to
indicate this applies to all man pages in this package.
This is not a life-threatening bug, just a minor wart; it seemed best
to let concerned parties know about it !
