Synopsis: Trouble with LD_PRELOAD environment variable and man pages State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: jdp State-Changed-When: Wed Jan 28 09:13:58 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: Problem confirmed. Any bogus value for LD_PRELOAD causes groff to fail, leaving a compressed empty "formatted" version of the man page in the "cat?" directory. Subsequent invocations of man use the bad file, because it has a newer timestamp than the unformatted copy. The man command should take care to clean up the bad file if groff fails.
