All of these are from the BUGS field. sleep(1) Argument must be less than 2147483647 seconds. spell(1) British spelling was done by an American. uudiff(1) Since checksums are used there is a probability of 1 in 2^32 of missing differences between files. doctor(6) BUG It shows how impressed people were willing to be way back then. worms(6) There should be an option to have the worms eat Pink Floyd lyrics. catman(8) Acts oddly on nights with fulwl moons. config(8) Should describe the format of the "files" file here; you can probably figure it out for yourself in the meantime.
