Document the fact that the tracefile argument must lead to a regular file.

Also took the opportunity to remove the spurious "Errors" entry
relating to filenames with the high-order bit set and add $Id$.

(More of the same to follow if there are no objections).

67294f93a6 Add a dire warning about misusing the setlogin() system call. Be very 
explicit that it is global to the entire "session", and that setsid() or
daemon() are need to have been called at some point.

The most notable offender of setlogin() misuse is XFree86's xdm.

f153098d8f Fixed a bunch of man page cross references that were

Thanks to Warner Losh for adding an option to manck to allow
it to scan the entire man page looking for bogus xrefs, instead
of just checking the SEE ALSO section.
