DEC didn't remove the BUGS sections, they just renamed them RESTRICTIONS. They also added this line to EVERY man page: is not supported by Digital Equipment Corporation. Actually there are a few commands that they do support. But not one single system call is supported! I can just hear the telephone support people (remember, the reason you bought Ultrix instead of BSD 4.2) now... "Oh, fork(2) doesn't work? Too bad. open(2)? Sorry, not supported."
