Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.67-1
Severity: normal

The alloca(3) man page says:

BUGS
       The alloca() function is machine and compiler dependent.
       On many systems its implementation is buggy.  Its use is
       discouraged.

The first sentence doesn't give more information than sections
"CONFORMING TO" and "NOTES", and concerning the second sentence,
Torbjorn Granlund says in the MPFR mailing-list[*]:

  That text is FUDish; I have never encountered any bugs with alloca on
  any of the many GMP target systems.

So, this misleading paragraph should be removed.
