>Description:
	The psignal manual page lists the types of sys_siglist and sys_signame
as "extern char *sys_siglist[]" etc when in reality they are declared as 
"extern const char * const sys_siglist[]" in <signal.h>.  Also note that
the manual page says one should include <sys/signal.h>, when it is <signal.h>
which declares psignal() and the arrays.

>How-To-Repeat:
	RTFM.  RTFH.
>Fix:
*** psignal.3.orig	Tue Jul  7 14:14:54 1998
