The handbook incorrectly states that a 'make world' should be done
after a cvsup to perform an upgrade. The corect command is 'make upgrade'.
The page in question is:

Jim,

  I'm sorry about Xerox's extreme anti-spam measures.  In
the future
you could send messages directly to fenner@parc.xerox.com .

In message

 Indeed.  Why don't you file a PR, in the category "doc", so
 that this
 doesn't get lost?
