I haven't been keeping track of mistakes in
libc.info.  I know that there are a bunch of
spelling errors.  They're easily found by any
modern word processor.  Well, that's not good.
It seems libc.info for DJGPP v2.03 from libc.tex,
is rife with spelling errors:

accomodate        <-missing 'm'
automagically     <-not a word (2 times)
charater          <-missing 'c'
constans          <-missing 't' (2 times)
