This problem was apparently due to a hung 'makewhatis' background
process. Sorry about the bother.
Never mind,

* 'man' is installed.
* 'cygcheck' says ok
* 'makewhatis' is run after each run of setup.
* 'apropos' works fine
* 'whatis' does not
For example:
* 'man ls' works
* 'apropos dir' finds 'ls' among other commands/libraries/etc
* whatis 'ls' doesn't work
$ type whatis
whatis is hashed (/bin/whatis)
ideas? bugs?
Thanks,
Lee
