Joey,

I've fixed this -- the change will appear in man-pages-2.04.

New text:

    RETURN VALUE
       When  successful, swapcontext() does not return.
       (But we may return later, in case oucp is  acti‐
       vated, in which case it looks like swapcontext()
       returns 0.)  On error, swapcontext() returns  -1
       and sets -1 errno appropriately.

Cheers,

Michael
