   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.
   7
   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.)
