See the fix.
Note that this is the only occurrance of 'accessable' in
the FreeBSD manpages; there are also around a dozen occurrances in kernel
sources comments. To the best of my knowledge and my ability
to verify, 'accessable' is neither an alternative spelling nor a
Britishism but rather that rare bird, a genuine misspelling.
