+
+Global changes
+--------------
+
+Many math pages had their synopses compressed, as per suggestion
+from Fabian Kreutz.
+
+Many minor content and formatting bug fixes were made to the math
+pages, following suggestions from Fabian Kreutz (who recently 
+translated many of the 1.70 math pages into German) and 
+Andries Brouwer.
+
+For consistency, all instances "super-user" were changed to the more 
+common "superuser".
+
+After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS
+of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.  
+
+    In addition:
+        -- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
+           on various pages.
+
+        -- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
+           to "unsigned int", etc.
+
+        -- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.
+
+   The affected pages are:
+
+                getdents.2
+                gettid.2
+                llseek.2
+                mmap2.2
+                modify_ldt.2
+                pivot_root.2
+                quotactl.2
+                readdir.2
+                sysctl.2
+                syslog.2
+                tkill.2
+
+Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
+other places.
