 .Sh BUGS
 Unlike the
 .Em varargs
 macros, the
-.Nm stdarg
+.Nm
 macros do not permit programmers to
 code a function with no fixed arguments.
 This problem generates work mainly when converting
 .Em varargs
 code to
-.Nm stdarg
+.Nm
 code,
 but it also creates difficulties for variadic functions that
 wish to pass all of their arguments on to a function
