|          & valid part of the process address space\\
| [EINVAL] & The {\sl sig} argument is not a valid signal number\\
| [EINVAL] & An attempt is made to ignore or supply a handler for SIGKILL\\
|          & or SIGSTOP
| \end{tabular}

| I suspect LaTeX is interpreting the stuff in [...] as an option, then

With the patch below, testing passed the points of failure.  I'll
commit once the full build is finished.

There, however, remain other issues related to included PostScript
files not found.  More on that later.

        * bsdsignal.c.pamphlet: Fix typo "(\bf" -> "{\bf".
        "SA_" -> "SA\_".
        Remove material in brackets; LaTeX was confused.
