>Description:

	swapon(8) has some strange device references.
	Under the 'FILES' section, the following appears:
     /dev/[ru][pk]?b  standard paging devices

>How-To-Repeat:

	man 8 swapon

>Fix:
	
	I'm not sure.  I don't know what /dev/[ru][pk]?b ARE, so I can't be
	sure they're wrong, though I don't have any such devices on my
	system.  Presuming that it should be the 'normal' swap partitions (a
	quite possibly flawed assumption), the appended patch will match it
	up.  Else, Something Should Be Done (tm) to bring it more into line
	with reality.  Though the fact that it's lasted this long without
	being pegged by somebody is a sign (maybe that nobody ever reads it ;)
