Where is documentation on bash "wait"?

[Stephan Mueller]

Perhaps the problem is specific to your configuration -- man wait does
indeed point me to man bash, and the bash manpage does indeed cover wait
(I searched for SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS based on early text in the page,
and then searched from the top of that section for wait -- worked like a
charm.

Did /you/ try it?

It complains about not finding bash.1.
Do you have a copy of bash.1 lying around somewhere?

To get this to work as I think it is intended, I need to:

1) gunzip /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz and
   /usr/share/man/man1/bash_builtins.1.gz

2) patch /usr/share/man/man1/bash_builtins.1 like so:
--- /usr/share/man/man1/bash_builtins.1~	2005-10-15

3) re-gzip /usr/share/man/man1/bash_builtins.1, but not bash.1


For some reason it doesn't work with a gzipped bash.1.
(A bug in man? It looks like it doesn't gunzip in this case.)
