[PATCH] vm86: Make it clear that the default return value is actually VM86_SIGNAL ... not just any old zero!

From: Samuel Bronson
Date: Mon May 04 2009 - 12:23:29 EST


The magic 0 tripped me up in trying to extend the vm86(2) manpage to
actually explain vm86()'s interface -- my greps for VM86_SIGNAL came up
fruitless.
