1921a06d6a Introduce the M_ZERO flag to malloc(9)
Instead of:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
        bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));

You can now (and please do) use:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);

In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
malloc-space.

1111b49c35 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

5bf6ab8369 Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
