2 FreeBSD errata document. Unlike some of the other RELNOTESng
3 files, this file should remain as a single SGML file, so that
4 the dollar FreeBSD dollar header has a meaningful modification
5 time. This file is all but useless without a datestamp on it,
6 so we'll take some extra care to make sure it has one.
8 (If we didn't do this, then the file with the datestamp might
9 not be the one that received the last change in the document.)
