This sentence will be gone in next manpages version. In case of such
trivial and obvious bugs in manpages I recommend to report it to manpages
maintainer - "Michael Kerrisk" <mtk-manpages@gmx.net>. I already reported
this problem myself.
Linux have been quite long time without manpages maintainer and there is a
lot of such stupid things. This particular manpage was just probably
written when 2.4 didn't exist yet and this sentence in BUGS section made
sense.
