 Hi there,
 
 I've made some modifications to the patch supplied:
 
   1) I personally feel the example should be something harmless.  Users
      running the previous example may find themselves in a sticky
      situation if they ran the example in the wrong directory not fully
      understanding what it does.  The example I've submitted is
      harmless.
 
   2) An example in the current man page references "." as a starting
      point, while all the others use "/".  I've changed the example to
      also use "/" as it seems more in line with the others.
 
 Cheers,
 Marc
