Subjectman-pages-2.61 is released
Gidday,

I recently released man-pages-2.61.

This release is now available for download at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages
or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages

and soon at:

ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages

A few of the changes that may of interest to readers of this list are
supplied below.

Cheers,

Michael

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

Noted that 'timeout' can also be changed if select() is
interrupted by a signal.
