	Manpage of swapon last updated in Feb 23, 2000.

>Description:

	The BUGS section of swapon(8) manpage incorrectly states:

	BUGS
	    There is no way to stop paging and swapping on a device.  It is
            therefore not possible to make use of devices which may be
	    dismounted during system operation.

	The last sentence effectively states that swapon is useless!

>How-To-Repeat:

	man swapon
