The problem seems to be with the new feature of "man" to deduce the MANPATH
from
the PATH, so for example /usr/openwin/bin in PATH gives /usr/openwin/man in
MANPATH (last dir removed and "man" added)
But then /usr/bin/X11 becomes /usr/bin/man which is the man program itself and
not a directory. I guess "man" is then trying to open itself as a directory
and
failing.
/usr/bin/X11 is a symlink to /usr/X11/bin in Solaris 10+; I've had it in my
PATH
for a long time for compatibility with older OS's - don't remember which.
