Description of problem:

Discrepancy between the release notes and man page for malloc


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.6-0.fc3.1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html with a browser
2. Look for the section on glibc
3. Run "man malloc"
  
Actual results:
Release notes claim for malloc_check:
    *

      0 â Do not generate an error message, and do not kill the program
    *

      1 â Generate an error message, but do not kill the program
    *

      2 â Do not generate an error message, but kill the program
    *

      3 â Generate an error message and kill the program

man malloc claims for malloc_check:
 If  MALLOC_CHECK_  is  set  to  0,  any  detected heap corruption is silently
       ignored; if set to 1, a diagnostic is printed on stderr; if set to  2,
       abort() is called immediately. 

Expected results:
