 .SH BUGS
 This function was broken in Linux libraries up to and including libc 5.0.9;
-there the \fIneedle\fP and \fIhaystack\fP arguments were interchanged,
-and a pointer to the end of the first occurrence of \fIneedle\fP
+there the
+.IR needle
+and
+.I haystack
+arguments were interchanged,
+and a pointer to the end of the first occurrence of
+.I needle
 was returned.
 
-Both old and new libc's have the bug that if \fIneedle\fP is empty,
-\fIhaystack\-1\fP (instead of \fIhaystack\fP) is returned.

 And glibc 2.0 makes it worse, returning a pointer to the

 This is fixed in glibc 2.1.
