Hi Eric,

I'm updating the manual pages' STANDARDS sections for POSIX.1-2024, and
I noticed something weird in POSIX's fchown() specification.

<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/fchown.html>

The CHANGE HISTORY section says Issue 8 has applied Austin Group Defect
1330, but that defect doesn't seem to have anything to do with fchown(),
and by visually comparing the specification between Issue 7 and 8 they
seem identical.  Am I missing anything, or was that changelog entry a
copy-paste mistake from POSIX?

The difference is in the description of the EINVAL error.  The text
"or an fattach()-ed STREAM" was removed, because STREAMS was removed
from POSIX.

Have a lovely day!
