I committed a slightly different version of your patch (just layout 
changes).  Thanks.

Hello Marc,

Don Lewis fixed the problem that required the Matlab shutdown script
workaround in src/sys/kern/kern_exit.c rev. 1.222 (Feb 19 2004),
MFCed to RELENG_4 in rev. 1.92.2.13 (Mar 3 2004). Could you please
update the section "Creating a MATLAB Shutdown Script" in
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu/chapter.sgml to reflect
that it's no longer required on FreeBSD containing that fix?

Hello Marius,

Can I simply remove the "Creating a MATLAB Shutdown Script" section?
BTW could you check if MATLAB run on 8.X?

I think so.

I still should have the MATLAB version I used back then somewhere.
However, I don't think it makes much sense to test how it behaves
nowadays and I unfortunately don't have access to a current version
of MATLAB.
The following posting suggests ("limiting to 10.5.1 and 10.5.2
paragraphs") that the shutdown script indeed no longer is necessary
with a recent version:

Unfortunately it also means that the handbook section about MATLAB
is quite outdated ...

This section commented out of Handbook for now as the Linux version is currently only available in 64-bit.
