This makes no difference for me (man-db 2.5.5-2, groff-base 1.18.1.1-22). Debugging output shows identical processing apart from the insertion of tbl. I'm adamant that this *should* not cause a difference, so I'm happy to figure out why this is different for you if you can show me 'man -d' output. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
