>Description:

	I think the msync(2) man page contains a small error but am
not 100% sure.  Someone else has to decide.  It says:

     within the region containing addr will be flushed; if len is non-zero,
     only the pages containing addr and len succeeding locations will be exam-
     ined.  The flags argument may be specified as follows:

	Here I think "len locations from addr on" instead of "addr
and len succeeding locations" would be the right term.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Read the man page.

>Fix:
	
	In case it is indeed wrong:  See above for an alternative
wording.
