I used the CVS logs for src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_cancel.c:

----------------------------
revision 1.2.2.1
date: 2000/01/04 10:42:19;  author: tg;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
MFC: Cancellation functions.

Reviewed by:    deischen
=============================================================================

Some of the man pages and cancellation support came from OpenBSD
(David Leonard).  The man page appears to have been written on
Jan 17, 1999 for OpenBSD.  FreeBSD-current and -stable came much
later.
