    jail.2: Mention EPERM is returned on open directories
    
    The manual page does not directly mention this reason for getting EPERM,
    instead referring the reader to chroot(2).  We have had some questions
    about it recently, in part due to a bug (fixed), and this case is not an
    obvious permission/problem, so let's be more explicit.
