POSIX says, with a note that really ISO C defines it:

  A call to setjmp() shall save the calling environment in its env
  argument for later use by longjmp().

I think the man page is fine as is, and that we should not wordsmith
text from ISO C and POSIX.   The explanatory text about setjmp/longjmp
seems reasonably clear, given that this is a fairly advanced programming
concept.   So I see nothing that needs fixing in NetBSD.

If someone thinks the ISO C text should change, <humor>I'm sure they
have a public bug-tracker someplace</>.
