Hmm. OK, try this (as root):
find / -name 'index.bt'
Mine are:
/var/catman/X11R6/index.bt
/var/catman/local/index.bt
/var/catman/openwin/index.bt
/var/catman/index.bt
Rename those 'index.bt' files to 'index.bt.bak'.
Now, run 'mandb'. If you use Midnite Commander you can use it to read
the mandb manpage /usr/man/mandb.gz for more info.
Write me privately if this fails and we'll work on it some more, and
just post the answer to the SuSE list.
One other question: is everything else working that you know of, or is
something else segfaulting?
