	'man strerror' says to include 'stdio.h' but the function is
	actually in 'string.h'

Actually, the manual page is correct - it simply documents more than one 
C library function :)  The <stdio.h> include is before the documentation 
for the perror() function, which is indeed declared there.  Further down, 
just before the prototype of strerror(), there *is* a "#include <string.h>" 
line in the manual page, isn't there? :) 

Even so, thanks for your efforts to make FreeBSD better by reporting 
what appeared to be a problem with the documentation!
