Hi there,
I've made some modifications to the patch supplied:
1) I personally feel the example should be something harmless. Users
running the previous example may find themselves in a sticky
situation if they ran the example in the wrong directory not fully
understanding what it does. The example I've submitted is
harmless.
2) An example in the current man page references "." as a starting
point, while all the others use "/". I've changed the example to
also use "/" as it seems more in line with the others.
Cheers,
Marc
