This is the same bug as #319952, and is a bug in col(1). I discovered that this was fixed some time ago in FreeBSD. See revision 1.18 here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/col/col.c I built the current version from FreeBSD CVS (removing the __FBSDID line so that it would compile on Debian) and confirmed that it fixes this bug. Daniel, could you please upgrade bsdmainutils to include this new version of col? As the man-db maintainer I would greatly appreciate it.
