+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+mlock.2
+ mtk
+ Reworded text around PAGESIZE, noting also that

+
+path_resolution.2
+ mtk / aeb
+ Removed words "as well" (added in 2.11) from the phrase
+ "and it gets these last five capabilities if its fsuid is 0 as well"
+ since there are (unusual) situations in which fsuid can be 0 while
+ the effective UID is not.
+
+ Reworked (cut down) discussion of capabilities, moving part of
+ it into capabilities.7
+
+setresuid.2
+ mtk
+ Add text to note that setresuid() always modifies the file
+ system UID, and setresgid() likewise always modifies the file
+ system GID.
+
+shmget.2
+ mtk
+ Added (brief) description of SHM_HUGETLB.
+
+sigaltstack.2
+ mtk / Martin Landers
+ Noted that ss_sp is automatically aligned by the kernel.
+
+byteorder.3
+ Brian M. Carlson / herbert@gondor.apana.org.au
+ Change <netinet/in.h> to <arpa/inet.h> in prototype; add text
+ explaining that some systems need the former header.
+ As per Debian bug 265244
+
+capabilities.7
+ mtk
+ Reworked part of the discussion of exec() and capabilities.
+ Added sub-section "Effect of User ID Changes on Capabilities".
+ Reworked discussion of CAP_SYS_ADMIN and file-max.
