I have man-pages-posix-2013ap0 installed on my up-to-date
OpenBSD/amd64-current machines and have the alias

        alias pman='man -M /usr/local/share/doc/posix/man'

in my shell.

This currently does not work as expected (and unfortunately I don't
quite know when it stopped working):

$ pman ls
assertion "tag_files->tfs == NULL" failed: file 
"/usr/src/usr.bin/mandoc/main.c", line 1254, function "spawn_pager"

$ man -M /usr/local/share/doc/posix/man ls
assertion "tag_files->tfs == NULL" failed: file 
"/usr/src/usr.bin/mandoc/main.c", line 1254, function "spawn_pager"

Viewing ordinary manuals works as expected.  My pager is less.

The manuals in the man-pages-posix-2013ap0 package are installed as
pre-formatted text documents in the various cat* sudirectories of
/usr/local/share/doc/posix/man.

It's not that I'm actually using the POSIX manuals very often (they are
quite out of date), but since man -M started failing for them I thought
I'd mention it.
