Sorry to be a pedant...

Hi all,

I know this is very minor and wasting your time a little, but:

The man page for hosts.cfg lists the tab character as being 8 (back
space) rather than 9. My OCD or something has kicked in so here is a diff.

Sorry (it does make me feel better though),

Brian

P.S. Not sure if the man page drives the html version of the other way
around. I patched both but expect there is something creating one from
the other in the release process.
