Guix,
Perhaps he's just getting old, but our man has a tendency to forget
where he was, start over from the beginning, and repeat himself several
times:
$ guix package -i knot rofi
$ man 5 knot.conf | grep -E '^(NAME|DESCRIPTION)'
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
$
There's also some stderr...
<standard input>:25: error: end of file while defining macro
`UNINDENT'
...but I think that's just a symptom of the input being cut short; man
rofi(1) prints no such error yet suffers the same fate.
The affected man pages themselves are not truncated, nor do they repeat:
$ zgrep '\.SH' `man -w knot.conf`
.SH NAME
.SH DESCRIPTION
.SH COMMENTS

.SH STATISTICS SECTION
.SH KEYSTORE SECTION
.SH SUBMISSION SECTION

However, even longer man pages such as bash(1) render without fail, so
there might be something special about the two examples above that
triggers this behaviour.
Kind regards,
