Hi James,

Sorry for the delay!

(In reply to James Hunt from comment #4)

Thanks again for reviewing. I've updated the patch but I still think it
needs to be "spelt out" that two plus symbols may be required since that
avoids any confusion.

Okay.

Also, I'm afraid I'm using a webmailer so submitting patches to a mailing
list is going to be painful for me, whereas this bugzilla is quick and easy
(and doesn't require me to register,

BTW, you don't need to subscribe to [off-list ref] to post there
:-)
But, I understand the rest.

format mails in particular ways, plus
of course to manage a ton more emails ;) But if the real action is happening
on the ML, I wonder if in the future it might be possible to forward all
bugzilla activity automatically to the ML rather than _vice versa_?

Yes.  After you said these, I remembered that I asked about that some time ago.
 The ML was subscribed again to this bugzilla activity :)

Now the review:

Could you please use '.IR ...' instead of '\fI...\fP...'?

See this extract from man-manpages(7):

[[
       The preferred way to write this in the source file is:

           .BR fcntl ()

       (Using this format, rather than the use of  "\fB...\fP()"
       makes it easier to write tools that parse man page source
       files.)
]]

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you!

Alex
