PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: Openwall GNU/*/Linux
Description: incorrect man page for postgres
Details:
The man page for postgres(1) has a wrong description of the '-S' option.
Previously, the '-S' option means that postgres will start in the 'silent'
mode, but in version 8.2 the '-S' option describes the amount of memory for
sorts.
