Bug in bash(1)

[Thomas Hood]

There appears to be a redundancy in the description of the "disown"
builtin in bash(1). Version is 4.2.

          [...]  If jobspec is not
          present, and neither -a nor  -r  is  supplied,
          the shell's notion of the current job is used.
          [...]  If no jobspec is present,
          and neither the -a nor the -r option  is  sup‐
          plied, the current job is used.
