What were you trying to do?

        Find out how to shutdown the X display manager.

What's wrong:

     >          If the display manager receives SIGFPE, it will kill it's
     >children and sleep forever (this is a way to shutdown the display ...

What should have happened:

        The word "it's" should have been spelled "its", i.e.,                

     >          If the display manager receives SIGFPE, it will kill its
     >children and sleep forever (this is a way to shutdown the display ...

        Also, it's not clear that this behavior should be requested
        by sending a signal billed as "floating point exception".                

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
