    share/man/man5       a.out.5 
  Log:
  a.out.5 states that nobody seems to agree on what bss stands for.  This is
  incorrect, however, as Dennis Ritchie states ``Actually the acronym is "block
  started by symbol."  It was a pseudo-op in FAP (Fortran Assembly Program), an
  assembler for the IBM <models> machines.  It identified its label and set
  aside space for a given number of words.''
