>Description:
PT_STEP in ptrace(2) man page is described as 'addr and data fields are not used'. Actually, at least the addr field is used. If one wants to step the traced process, she had to set addr field to (caddr_t)1.
That man page was written in 1996. Probably outdated.

State-Changed-Why:  
The man page has been updated in -CURRENT.  Thanks for noticing the 
error!  It will probably not make it into 4.4 but will be merged to 
-STABLE shortly after the release.  Thanks!
