Hi,

This happened because there were some phrases commented out that don't
apply to NetBSD. After some iterations of merges, an extra line "SIGUSR1
signal" that should also have been commented out was left in. It should
end with "typically control-T) and will continue capturing packets."
I've edited the file on CVS HEAD to change the phrase. (And uwe@ has
fixed the formatting problem that was adding the unnecessary empty
lines in between.)

Regards,

Dave
