What were you trying to do?
	Read the manpage for "limit".

What's wrong:
	It doesn't exist.  It is referenced in the "jobs" and "notify"
	manpage, however in the "SEE ALSO" section.

What should have happened:
	There should be one, or those manpages should not reference it.
	I would rather see one created than having the references
	removed.  I may even be willing to write it (stealing most of
	the text from the csh manpage).

	If one does get created, it should also be referred to by the
	csh manpage "SEE ALSO" section.  In fact, the csh manpage
	doesn't mention the "jobs" manpage or the "fg" or "bg" manpages
	(though they are less useful than the "jobs" manpage).  Maybe I
	should file a seperate bug-report on the csh manpage?  Nah.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man jobs
	man notify
	man csh
	man limit  (ha! you can't! :-)
