I believe I have a fix for this. However, I can't reproduce the problem, so I'd like to collect more information in order to make sure that I've really fixed it. Could you please run "strace -f -o /root/man.trace -s 1024 man man" in the same environment, and attach the resulting /root/man.trace file? Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
