>Description:

	The man page (1) example (/usr/share/examples/mdoc/example.1) has
	a typo in it.  It says:

	DIAGNOSTICS
	     Exist status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails

	but the first term must be "Exit status."

>How-To-Repeat:

	groff -mandoc -Tascii /usr/share/examples/mdoc/examples.1

>Fix:
	
	Apply the following patch.
	(Or, just remove an "s" with an editor...)
