>Description:

	This is pedantic but I'm bored, so there...

	The sh(1) manpage incorrectly labels bash as a ksh clone;
	this can easily be corrected since the pdksh ksh88 clone
	is offered through the ports/packages mechanism.

 Are you sure that bash _isn't_ a ksh clone?  I don't know for sure
 myself, but I'd appreciate it if you'd confirm at least one way in which
 bash is incompatible with ksh.
 
 Thanks,
 Sheldon.

 Having been convinced that it's not appropriate to call bash a ksh
 clone, my only remaining reservation is the reference to the ports and
 packages. To me it doesn't "feel right" and I can't find a precedent in
 any of the existing manpages.
 
 So I'm inclined to go with this simpler patch unless someone can reason
 me out of my doubts.
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
