On my SuSE GNU linux computer, indeed not only the emacs command "M-x man RET CAT RET" is case insensitive, but also the command `man CAT' invoked from the shell prompt. (I only tried this computer before submitting the bug report because I use it most often.) On a computer with Fedora GNU linux, both commands fail, the emacs command "M-x man RET CAT RET" and the command `man CAT' invoked from the shell prompt. I have no idea what is causing this inconsistent behavior. (I wish that at least emacs would give me a consistent behavior on different platforms.)
