Public bug reported:

The INVOCATION section of the man page has the text

"reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these
files exist and are readable"

which repeats "~/.bashrc".  By experiment, I find it probable that the
first of these .bashrc references should read "/etc/bash.bashrc".
