Fixed in the read/write volume; should take effect tomorrow.
[If you're curious, the first line of comments unintentionally
triggered a feature:
Preprocessing Manual Pages
When formatting a manual page, man examines the first line
to determine whether it requires special processing. If the
first line is a string of the form:
'\" X
where X is separated from the `"' by a single SPACE and con-
sists of any combination of characters in the following
list, man pipes its input to troff(1) or nroff(1) through
the corresponding preprocessors.
e eqn(1), or neqn for nroff
r refer(1)
t tbl(1)
v vgrind(1)]
