Index: lib/libc/gen/ctype_.c
Description:
The man page says that iscntrl() returns true for characters less
than 040. It doesn't for ^I, ^J, ^K, ^L, ^M.
Repeat-By:
Look at the file...
Fix:
Change the _S to _S|_C for those entries. *Don't* simply change
the man page; it agrees with the documentation and behavior of
System V and 8th Edition.
