On "module Process" page, when following the link after "See" below (please
excuse redundant pun):

  setpriority Process.setpriority( kind, anInteger, anIntPriority ) -> 0
       See Process#getpriority.

I get "Following page cannot be found" at

    http://dev.rubycentral.com/ref/ref_c_process.html#getpriority

Likewise for links with embedded "::" in the sections labeled

  getpriority Process.getpriority( aKind, anInteger ) -> aFixnum
  waitpid Process.waitpid( aPid, anInteger ) -> aPid

I'd be happy to look for more cases, but I think I should wait and see if
these things have a generic cause first.

PS: I (at long last) really like the FAQ formatting of examples, with the
exception of the extra blank line in each case.
