Bug #2758: Incorrect info in arc4random(3) manual page

Dear DragonFlyBSD bugs,

There is an incorrect statement in the

arc4random(3)

Manual page; The manual page reads:

".....which uses 8*8 8 bit S-Boxes ..."

But ARC4 uses 256 (not 64) "8-bit S-Boxes"; Which corresponds to "2**8"
(using
the same syntax used elsewhere in that manual page).


The same mistake is present in the FreeBSD arc4random(3) manual page.
