Ahh, good find! Attached is a patch to fix the problem. The fix has
been committed to CVS, and will be included in the next release.

Hmmm, it looks like it's in the actual manual... But it seems to be
missing from the HTML version of the manual for some reason. That's
very odd. man2html (what I used to convert the man page to HTML) would
appear to have a few bugs in it. I fixed the pref-file omissions by
hand... if you notice any more, please let me know!
