I just had a quick look at the source code for man.cgi. It parses the output from man(1) and does so using perl at it's best/worst with a lot of regular expressions, so fixing this isn't simple. I just cc'ed Wolfram Schneider who is the original author of man.cgi and unless he has a quick fix I wouldn't count on this problem being fixed any time soon - it's just too much black perl magic :-). --=20 Simon L.
