I've applied this, but, if you're going to stick a "Fixes" tag onto a
patch, it's probably only polite to copy the original author.  I'm not
fully convinced that the tag is warranted in this case.

This document seems out of date in a number of ways; it could really use a
rather more thorough updating than this.
