This patch also appears bogus as csh is an alternative to dash.

That's what I say too. Then I told myself that it was more interesting
than csh or ksh information. Otherwise it would add sh, bash ...

As you want, at least I know if I close this bug has waited too long.

Thanks for yours help.

Even if csh is intentionally in the "See also" section despite not being 
referenced anywhere else, is it also intentional that chsh is not in 
that section despite the earlier reference? Would a patch that leaves 
csh but also adds chsh be more appropriate, or do you prefer to leave it 
as it is now?

Cheers,

The see also section is not meant to be an exhaustive list of
all commands referred to in the manual.  It's meant to be a list
of manual entries related to dash.  So no I'm not going to add
chsh there just because there was an earlier reference.

Ok, I leave the bug open because it also relates to the numbering of
file descriptors.
