Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.4-2
Severity: minor

After reading a long manpage, an error of the following type is 
displayed:

$ man 1 xterm
grotty:/tmp/zman1lzGNF:58914:fatal error: output error
$

Similar errors appear after viewing manpages for mplayer and tin, 
both of which are long, but not when viewing manpages for slrn, mutt or 
xorg, which are shorter.

However, no error is generated by the following:

$ man -t 1 xterm > xterm.ps
$

I've marked this as "minor" because display of manpages seems not to be 
affected.
