>Description:
in the tsleep man page :
     The parameter wmesg is a string describing the sleep condition for tools
     like ps(1).  Due to the limited space of those programs to display arbi-
     trary strings, this message should not be longer than 6 characters.
but in one driver (ufm) there is a call :
     tsleep(sc, 0, "ufmwait", hz/4);
either the man page or the driver code is wrong
there is also :
                error = tsleep(&sc->sc_q, PZERO | PCATCH, "uhidrea", 0);
in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uhid.c
