 Could you elaborate?  It seems perfectly coherent to me.

 Okay, now I understand your concern.  Your original complaint of "it's
 incoherent" wasn't of much help, you must understand.  Actually, the
 reason I probably didn't notice this is because, on my screen, the
 "getty repeating ... sleeping" part is in bold, so it was obvious
 where the error message ended.  I can, however, understand that not
 everyone reads man pages on terminals capable of such markup.
 
 Per your suggestion, I just committed a change to -current which puts
 newlines after both error messages and indents the paragraphs
 following them.  I'll MFC it after the code freeze.
 
 Thanks for the report,
