>Description:
In the sh(1) man page there is a small mistake in example:
host% man sh | grep example
{ echo -n "hello"; echo " world" } > greeting
>How-To-Repeat:
man sh | grep example
or
{ echo -n "hello"; echo " world" } > greeting
>Fix:
I sent the patch already, but... sendmail(8) killed my letter,
because I'm on dialup link, and my hostname sometimes is not legal.
Add ";" after " world":
{ echo -n "hello"; echo " world"; } > greeting
