>Description:
The sigaltstack(2) man page defines a
     struct sigaltstack {
             caddr_t ss_sp;
             long    ss_size;
             int     ss_flags;
     };

But the definition in <sys/signal.h> is

struct  sigaltstack {
        char    *ss_base;               /* signal stack base */
        int     ss_size;                /* signal stack length */
        int     ss_flags;               /* SA_DISABLE and/or SA_ONSTACK */
};

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Fix the man page.
