Thanks!  I've applied the patch.

I had to amend it with this:

	diff --git i/man/man2/mincore.2 w/man/man2/mincore.2
	index c3ff474cf654..015dd281096c 100644
	--- i/man/man2/mincore.2

as CI reported an issue:

	...

You can check <CONTRIBUTING.d/lint> in case you want to check these
issues.  However, I don't mind sporadic issues in patches, since my CI
catches them anyway, so I can just amend them when I find them.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
