500 *manpathlist = '\0';
(gdb) print len
$1 = 0
It's pretty clear what's going on..none of the directories in
/etc/manpath.config exist, so len=0, so malloc(0) "succeeds" and does
nothing, leaving manpathlist a null pointer.
This situation can occur if e.g. you install the 'base' freebsd
distribution into a jail, without installing any of the manpages. In
this situation none of the manpage directories are created either.
