This section discusses the efforts made in correcting a minor grammatical error
in the FreeBSD Developer's Handbook. This error was located on the "Kernel
Debugging", Chapter 10, Section 1.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html

"Several types of kernel crash dumps are available: full memory dumps, which
hold the complete contents of physical memory, minidumps, which hold only
memory pages in use by the kernel (FreeBSD 6.2 and higher), and textdumps,
which hold captured scripted or interactive debugger output (FreeBSD 7.1 and
higher)."

After the colon, the sentence should have read "full memory dumps, which hold
the complete contents of physical memory; minidumps, which hold ...; and
textdumps, which hold captured ..."

While there were several little comma based errors in the handbook, this one
was particularly confusing because it was fusing two list items together.
