ERRORS
These are some standard errors generated by the socket layer.
:
:
EFAULT The receive buffer pointer(s) point outside the process's address
space.
:
If the error doesn't get returned....why document it...if the error does
get returned...shouldn't it return everytime?

So I'm assuming since the test should be fixed....the manpage
should also be corrected?
Yes the test should be fixed, that is what I said.
The manpage does not say that EFAULT must be returned, but it is
up to Andi Kleen whether to change the wording or not.
